Spells & Sensibility - K.L. Noone & K.S. Murphy

QSFers K.L. Noone & K.S. Murphy have a new MM historical book out: Spells and Sensibility. Theodore Burnett has never been a hero. He prefers comfort to combat-spells, and jam-slathered scones to muddy boots. Fortunately, as the youngest-ever head librarian at the Royal College of Wizardry, Theo can spend his days with books and bibliomancy in place of battle-magic or politics — and in any case Napoleon’s been defeated and the war’s been won. But now there’s a wounded captain of the Magicians’ Corps in Theo’s library. And he needs Theo’s help. And Theo can never resist a mystery, especially … Read more

Rice’s “Interview With the Vampire” is a Queer-Coded Masterpiece

by
Interview with the Vampire film shot

Following the death of acclaimed gothic horror novelist Anne Rice, we reflect on the legacy of the film adaptation of Interview with the Vampire. When Interview with the Vampire was released in cinemas in 1994, audiences for the most part completely missed the glaring homoeroticism and queer subtext.

The film’s queer themes always remain implicit rather than explicit – but they’re still there, lurking in the background, informing the characters and the journeys they’re on. For those not in the … Read more
