THE TELEPHONE DIARIES / LOVE TAP (ILA POP / SAILOR STEPHENS)

VENOMOUS FEATHERS SPLIT SERIES #2: THE TELEPHONE DIARIES by Ila Pop / LOVE TAP by Sailor Stephens

New Zealand

“The Telephone Diaries” documents an infernal summer of horror and desire. A heatwave of acid erotism has us hallucinating visions of mad love among the ruins, lusting after liminal-zone lamiae and Cronenbergian pinups, and burning up in the fires and fevers of this wounded century.

The heat doesn’t stop there, as “Love Tap” takes us on a tour through the wretched gardens and gutters of a decaying Albion. Here every estate heaves with a history of magic and mire, where salvation can be grasped in the dark, but only after we’ve been dragged bleeding through the thorns of the sacred and the profane.

Essential eyeballing for all enthusiasts of Neo-Decadence and the erotic-grotesque.
