Summary

Interviews with performers and artists whose work has impacted on the mainstream in a thoroughly unwholesome way. If you have ever wondered whether Teller actually talks, tickled yourself over Divine consuming inconsumables for film director John Waters, or perhaps considered girls and corpses, DARK STARS RISING is the one book that demonstrates there is more to the creative act than not being profiled on MTV. DARK STARS RISING is a collection of twenty six interviews spanning twenty-three years with creators of darker art worldwide, whether it be film, performance, literature, or something else entirely. In many cases never meeting or being aware of each other, the vortex here is interviewer and New York film writer Shade Rupe, known for his avant interests and the cultural sector he created with his Funeral Party series of books. Everyone in this collection (with the exception of the late Divine and Brother Theodore) is working today, continuing to produce artifacts that catch the heart and mind. Many rare photographs are used throughout, plus a resource section lists useful links for further information. A selection of choice reviews rounds out the book.
