Acheiropoieta: The Vampire

A parergon score for a gay space vampire book to be published in 2025, Acheiropoieta: The Vampire is filled with robotic holy murmuring voices. It is an icy mineral cave punk Derridean noise music, a hallucinatory satanic homoerotic Gen(e)tian hymn book. It is a cock invocation, clocking despair inside bitter bio/necropolitical Berlin. A gay trans Scanners passage of infernal (un) becoming, this text situates impossible injections, penetrations, and sex/death pulses.
