PORTLAND, OR—Before GamerGate, before Portlandia, before hipsters—there was Darklady. Speaking her mind and getting flack for it has become a lifestyle for the opinionated Portlander, who has dug into her archives to find prime examples of rants likely to elicit an emotional response. Darklady’s Carnal Archives and Mesmerizing Hate Mail, now available from Knotted Road Press, has it all: Porn, gender identity, leather politics, polyamory, erotica, a forward by Jay Wiseman, and more—including copious examples of negative feedback and even a little bit of love.
This collection of columns from the 1990s and beyond, as well as the hate mail they inspired, will make you laugh out loud, bang your fist on the table, and learn about things you didn’t even know existed. Always strange, even when it’s mundane, the author assures that this book will keep you in stitches, tears, and rage. Prepare for a roller coaster of a ride.
Darklady’s Carnal Archives and Mesmerizing Hate Mail is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, CreateSpace, iTunes, and KnottedRoadPress.com.
