At the heart of the park is Faggotland, a playland for gay men, and Castle Faggot, the darkest dark ride in the world. Home to a cartoon Dracula called Count Choc-o-log, the castle is decorated with the corpses of gays--some were killed, some killed themselves, all ended up as d cor. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book includes a map of Faggotland, a photobook of the castle, the instructions for a castle-shaped dollhouse, and the novelization of a TV puppet show about Count Choc-o-log and his friends--reminiscent of the classic stop-motion special \u003ci\u003eRudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer\u003c\/i\u003e, but even gayer and more grotesque. As scatological as Sade but with a Hanna-Barbera vibe, \u003ci\u003eCastle Faggot\u003c\/i\u003e transmutes McCormack's love of the lurid and the childlike, of funhouses and sickhouses, into something furiously funny: as Edmund White says, \"the mystery of objects, the lyricism of neglected lives, the menace and nostalgia of the past--these are all ingredients in this weird and beautiful parallel universe.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDerek McCormack is a writer who lives in Toronto.
