Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

The main character is a reanimated corpse who eats brains and is in love with a half-human, half-rat hybrid who dies if she orgasms. 

Sometimes, just sometimes, it's nice to know that someone is a little weirder than you, especially when it comes to the whole love life thing.   Especially if you're, well, like me.  Plus, I need something with lush and lyrical prose after the crap fest that was the Robocop novelization. 

If you haven't read Richard Calder... well, I can't say he's for everyone.   He writes some of the quirkiest stories out there, and they're god... just heartbreaking and beautiful and full of everything that reminds me why I love reading.   

He also has love connections that are odd, and make my technosexuality look normal in comparison.   I never got why I got so into his pairings, but it makes sense to me now.   Relatively, they normalize my own desire, and I also root for these couples because I know what it's like to be in the fringe, and I've known since before I came to grips with what I am.   

It's actually influenced a lot of what I like.   Neuromancer.   All of Richard Calder.   A lot of cyberpunk.   

I have, however, misplaced, or most likely given away my copy of the Dead Girls, Dead Boys, and Dead Things trilogy :(   I am devastated.   I shall have to rectify this situation, as soon as possible!
