At the heart of the park is Faggotland, a playland for gay men, and Castle Faggot, the darkest dark ride in the world. Home to a cartoon Dracula called Count Choc-o-log, the castle is decorated with the corpses of gays-some were killed, some killed themselves, all ended up as décor.The book includes a map of Faggotland, a photobook of the castle, the instructions for a castle-shaped dollhouse, and the novelization of a TV puppet show about Count Choc-o-log and his friends-reminiscent of the classic stop-motion special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, but even gayer and more grotesque. As scatological as Sade but with a Hanna-Barbera vibe, Castle Faggot transmutes McCormack's love of the lurid and the childlike, of funhouses and sickhouses, into something furiously funny: as Edmund White says, the mystery of objects, the lyricism of neglected lives, the menace and nostalgia of the past-these are all ingredients in this weird and beautiful parallel universe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51915758207264,"sku":"NEW1635901375","price":19.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/castle-faggot-semiotexte-native-agents-1635901375","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
