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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 \u003ci\u003eRudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer\u003c\/i\u003e, but even gayer and more grotesque. As scatological as Sade but with a Hanna-Barbera vibe, \u003ci\u003eCastle Faggot\u003c\/i\u003e 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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback | 144 pages | 5.38\" x 7.94\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Derek Mccormack (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45432265277672,"sku":"9781635901375x","price":21.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0386\/5896\/5549\/files\/BNCImageAPI_60d0d748-b053-401f-89ee-0b9d54f15132.jpg?v=1707117343","url":"https:\/\/typebooks.live\/products\/9781635901375","provider":"TYPE Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
