For Pride Month, Bobby at Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein invited me back to write more in depth about H. P. Lovecraft’s story “The Thing on the Doorstep.” I’m one of several trans authors participating in this series of guest blogs on the site examining old pulp writing from a modern transgender perspective.
I’m not educated formally in gender theory, so please read my response as a mix of personal, literary, and political musings on the story. If you haven’t read Lovecraft, it’s an interesting piece to start with, involving what appears to be an empowered and terrifying woman. Or, by the end after the truth is known, a peculiar sort of gay love triangle. Personally, I’d love to see a very melodramatic, gay, steamy, horrifying film version of it. Alas, only in my imagination.
