OH HI THERE. What have I been up to lately, you ask? Oh, nothing, really. No, I’m not hiding a knife behind my back. And no, I swear, I haven’t been cheating on you. Honest. In fact, I can assure you that I’ve never wanted to fuck anyone. No need to. Haven’t you read Ballard? […]

Feeling compelled to adopt a clumsy German accent for the duration of your stay is only part of the Spiegeltent’s appeal.
