A QUEER KIND OF DEATH

by George Baxt ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 13, 1966

Reader cat, this is all about the death of Ben Bentley, cat (fag, peyote connection, procurer, blackmailer) as it affected switch-hitting Seth (with whom he'd broken up) and Seth's wife (they'd both shared) and some of the strangest cats of all (a rich recluse and her fag brother) and a Negro detective, Pharoah Love, who not only digs Seth-- he becomes his cat baby-- but also makes a cat-egorical imperative of all this campy, ofay nonsense. As for the mystery, forget it-- and as for the readers--it's for those who don't find high drag a drag.
