Everyone recognizes the plot of the standard monster movie: monster meets girl; monster falls in love with girl; monster seizes girl to take her to his lair; hero rescues girl from monster’s clutches; The End.  And since clichés exist for a reason, nearly every example of the genre—good or bad—uses the template.

​

But there’s an implicit question in this cookie-cutter model: what does the monster do with the girl once he’s got her?  Sex is suggested, of course.  The captured damsel is always nubile, scantily dressed and in a helpless faint.  And invariably, the monster’s a man—or at least a male of its species.

​

I explored the implicit sensuousness of literary horror in Mina Harker’s Diary.  I now continue the tradition of hidden eroticism in Autumn Moon.  Read of the hitherto undiscovered sex found in The Invisible Man, The Wolf Man, The Mummy, King Kong, Creature from the Black Lagoon and The Phantom of the Opera.

While on summer holiday, Mina notices her friend Lucy is beginning to act strangely, expressing sensuous appetites considered shocking in late Victorian England.  Mina soon learns the cause: recurring dreams of a sinister man ravishing Lucy in her sleep.  But when Mina experiences these dreams too, and her own forbidden desires awaken, the women embark on an adventure of pleasure together—not realizing that their nocturnal seducer is Count Dracula, Lord of Vampires.

​

What might Bram Stoker, Robert Louis Stevenson and Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley have written without Nineteenth Century mores inhibiting their pens?  And what did they write to hint at sexual license lurking just beneath the surface of propriety and the printed page?  Mina Harker’s Diary explores the hidden eroticism of Dracula, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Frankenstein to cast these familiar tales in a new and voluptuous light.
