Excellent and dense little text - I'm amazed at how well Gordon blends the otherworldly with the material and the aesthetic. I'm still thinking a lot about queer Appalachian art and the ways in which it reckons with ghosts and art to conduct a sort of folklore that envisions a utopian future, this was invaluable for that thinking.
