Barnabas Stop Reading Ahead
Episode 206 — Released Jan 31 2025
On the internet, we often find ourselves inundated with impressively bad erotica. But did you know that before the internet people were also bad at writing flirtation, foreplay, sex, and fetish play?
Okay, but did you know they were also GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!
Hommi Publishing is on a mission to catalog gay pulp romance novels from the latter half of the 20th century, seeing as much of it is lost to villainous fujoshi librarians and price-gouging ebay scoundrels who hoard these homosexual remnants of print media, and archiving them on the internet, complete with excerpts to entice and delight.
Real talk: This is actually a great mission.
Realer talk: It’s still funny to read bad romance prose.
This week, Extra Credit would never love a green, fanged, 123 year old vampire.
With Dijon Du Jour, The Heavenator, Positronic, Frank West, Adam Bozarth, and Shell Game
