This little gem of a book was written by Mel Juffe and illustrated by Edward Gorey in 1965 under the pseudonym of “Hyacinthe Phypps”. It is a parody on etiquette books and covers every imaginable situation in which a young girl might lose her virginity, from Moroccan palaces and ( Read more... )

NOBODY TOLD ME AUBREY BEARDSLEY ACTUALLY WROTE STUFF. In addition to doing art, that is. I've just read through his unfinished erotic novel, Under The Hill. Which is just silly Decadent/Aesthetic fluff. But it's really rich in imagery and lols.

There's an exceprt of it ( Read more... )
