Summary

'Sexuality delivers the goods, making the history and theory of sexuality downright sexy ... I learned more in one session with this book than I've figured out in a lifetime.' Christine Burns MBE, author of Trans Britain

They're back! Writer Meg-John Barker and artist Jules Scheele once again team up in this cheeky and informative comic-book follow-up to Queer and Gender.

Sex is everywhere. It's in the stories we love - and the stories we fear. It defines who we are and our place in society ... at least we're told it ought to.

Sex and sexuality can seem like a house of horrors, full of monsters and potential pitfalls. We often live with fear, shame and frustration when it comes to our own sexuality, and with judgement when it comes to others'. Sex advice manuals, debates over sex work and stories of sexual "dysfunction" only add to our anxiety.

With compassion, humour, erudition and a touch of the erotic, Meg-John Barker and Jules Scheele shine a light through the darkness and unmask the monsters.

'The art introduces a set of reoccurring characters, tongue-in-cheek references to the Scooby-Doo gang, who journey through a haunted house confronting and unmasking the villains: patriarchy, white supremacy, ableism, and capitalism personified ... The sum: accessible, compassionate reading for readers wanting to think more deeply about sex, society, and how they intersect.' Publishers Weekly

    "Why are you here to insult me again!" Moaned Dr. Alexander. 
    "No Astra, Queen of Vampires had a vision on a crime scene!" said Lance. 
    "What's new my granddaughter is a medium!" Dr. Alexander moaned. 
    "But what she saw wasn't real!" said Lance 
    "Then why tell us, if it is not real!" said Dante who was trying to clean the blood off the pages of the bloody papers. 
    "What did she see?" asked Dr. Alexander. 
    "A white raven sitting on a human skull blood running from the nose hole of the skull in a dark place," said Lance turning white. 
    "It means you Dad your symbol is a white raven, the skull symbol of death." 
    "What is that meant to mean?" said Dante. 
    "Blue Midnight is going to die or I am King of the grim reapers!" snapped Blake shortly. 
    "What about the bloody nose?" asked Dante. 
    "Blood of death!" said Lance. 
    "What does that mean!" said Dante. 
    "There will be blood!" said Blake. 
    "Don't be a drama queen!" scoffed Lance. 
    "It's just an omen they happen someone is trying to reveal me, the Emperor of the solar system as a grim reaper!" Blake moaned, "and my blood relatives! Wouldn't put it past this guy on the slab! He has the motivation and he didn't know Astra was one of my kin who knew who I was! Come with me you two!" a portal of darkness swirled in the air.
