Drunk Book Club - The Crow: The Lazarus Heart

We return to the works of Billy Martin AKA Poppy Z Brite for a Crow tie-in novel that wants to say a lot about systemic oppression in the queer community but kind of trips over its own feet and then breaks every bone in its body. Which is certainly interesting to watch, if nothing else. This episode was commissioned by Anile! You can find out more about how to commission an episode by visiting patreon.com/trashandtreasures.
