Beyond the Planet of the Vampires by Ulrich Baer (CLASH, 2025)
"Think Paul Celan and Buck Rogers meet up with the Beowulf poet in Nosferatu’s castle..."
- Laird Hunt
Beyond the Planet of the Vampires is an anti-enlightenment gay pulp horror novel of the aleatory. Smoldering in a social abjection reminiscent of Genet's outlaw anti-heroes, the narrative erratically loses and regains consciousness during an apocalyptic space invasion of Mario Bava's psychic vampires—reaching across intergalactic fathoms in search of future victims. Encouraging the reader to dissolve in the flux of its strange syntax, this book acts as a psychopomp towards infernal differentiation. Reveling in the alternating pleasures of submission and domination, Baer's text locates the homoerotic in the homosocial camp choreographies of becoming a man.
