Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

Does this one really have a “Batman and Harley Quinn” retelling? Down to the no-need-for-a-headboard bondage equipment? & then not just replace Nightwing with Batman (because who knows Nightwing anyways, right?) but also reverse the rigger/bunny? I can’t even …

Grady Hendrix: The Southern Book Club’s Guide to slaying Vampires (Paperback, 2020, Quirk Books)

Valley of the Dolls with Dracula

If you want a low-key horror Spooky Season read like “Valley of the Dolls”-vibe with Dracula in it, that’s your book ^ ^ CW for a lot of misogyny, (domestic) abuse, r*ape, blood & gore. & a dead dog.

When you live in Germany & it comes to personification of the Übermensch (& not the actual philosophical meaning of overcoming nihilism) & Wille zur Macht, you are in the middle of Nazi-propaganda. I’m very glad it is not the case in this book & the topic is given a special twist. You better have paid attention in your philosophy lessons at school, when Freud, Jung & Nitzsche was taught, but also are not too attached to their teachings, because this book twists, turns & interweaves philosophical & some religious concepts to the edge of recognisability.

PS: It icks me that “Übermensch” is translated with “Overman” (or even worse: “Superman” in the english translation of “Also sprach Zarathustra”) & not “Overhuman”.
