Stewart Home Interviewed By Greek Magazine No Beauty No Danger

NB: Can you tell us some reasons to buy your new book She’s my Witch?

SH: It’s not just a book it’s also a talisman and it will bring you good luck and great fortune. It’s much better value than buying crystals and you also get a fabulous novel to read about a heroin addicted witch who seduces a fitness instructor and ultimately gets him to surrender his gender. People should also buy the new horror anthology I’ve edited called Denizen of the Dead, a protest against property speculation that features haunted house stories in new build ‘ghost home’ investment flats from many of today’s top writers, including of course me. It also features Paul Ewen, Tariq Goddard, Iphgenia Baal, Chris Petit, Steve Finbow, John King, Chloe Aridjis, Tom McCarthy, Liz Rever, Katrina Palmer, Michael Hampton and Bridget Penney,.

NB. What is your opinion about sex? Do you prefer situationist BDSM or Maoist tantra?

SH: The more sex we have the better communists we become. Indeed, even too much sex is not enough and we should be having at least 36 orgasms very minute. Situationist BDSM beats Maoist tantra every time because you are allowed to come although it’s not mandatory. And in a switch situation Situationist BDSM has a truly dialectical relationship to the notion of surrender, whereas in Maoist tantra everyone just submits to the arbitrary whims of a guru.

NB: Do you support the idea that KFC founder Colonel Sanders is the clone of Leon Trotsky or the
opposite?

SH: The only clones that interest me are The Clones of Bruce Lee and I wrote extensively about that film and it’s putative director Joseph Velasco in my 2018 book Re-Enter The Dragon: Genre Theory, Brucesploitation and the Sleazy Joys of Lowbrow Cinema. And don’t forget that the hypermasculinity in martial arts films always tips over into its opposite the feminine, so kung fu flicks are a gay groove - especially when they have clones! Trotsky and Colonel Saunders by way of contrast were just capitalist recuperators.

NB: I want you to tell us 5 favourite pornstars?

SH: Erik Rhodes, Billy Herrington, Carlo Masi, Zeb Atlas, Matthew Rush.

NB: 5 favourite music Groups?

SH: Chairman of the Board, Soul Sisters, Adam and the Ants (up to 1980), Blaggers ITA (for live shows not records), Chicks On Speed.

NB: 5 Favourite Books?

SH: She’s My Witch by Stewart Home, Tainted Love by Stewart Home, 69 Things To Do With A Dead Princess by Stewart Home, Whips & Furs by Stewart Home, Slow Death by Stewart Home.

NB: 5 Favourite Movies?

SH: The Clones of Bruce Lee (Joseph Velasco), The Streetfighter (Sonny Chiba), Eclipse & Re-Emergence of the Oedipus Complex (Stewart Home), Divine Horsemen (Maya Deren), The Beyond (Lucio Fulci).

NB: Was Guy Debord or William Burroughs the greatest practitioner of chaos magic that ever lived?

SH: You do better chaos magic on smack than alcohol, so Burroughs stands taller than Debord in this field but neither would be the greatest practitioner ever…. there’s better chaos magicians alive in London right now like Phil Hine but the top boss has got to be Terry Taylor who also authored the classic beatnik into mod novel Barons Court, All Change. Sadly Terry died in 2014 but he practiced magic with my mother back in the sixties, and he told me more than I needed to know to outpace Burroughs and Debord on the magic front before his death.

NB: You were the first person that has done activism in support of necrophilia. After all those years do you think about printing necrocards again or have you found your other half?

SH: The point about great sex is that it’s always consensual sex because it takes two to really do a graveyard dance. Consent is given in advance so necrophilia can be consensual… when it isn’t it\s never gonna be great. But I want an orgy of the dead, so I’m gonna have to keep on distributing those necrocards.

NB: Your book “Blow Job” has been translated in Greek, are there any plans for future Greek translations?

SH: I’d love for all my books to be translated into Greek but for that to happen a Greek publisher needs to approach me and ask to do them. Sadly none are making offers right now so nothing is in the works at the moment… I have had new books in Finnish and Russian recently, and a new Spanish translation will be out next year.

NB: Do you believe that Cornilius Castoriadis was a member of the reptilian Illuminati bloodline order that secretly rules the world?

SH: Only when there’s an eclipse of the moon on a Tuesday in a leap year. Most of the time I’m of the opinion that Castoriadis was just a regular guy who could suck cock like a communist champion!

NB: You also were one of the first ones who talked about the fascism and proto-fascism in neo-folk and
power electronics. I think that your work has helped many of us exposing Death In June etc. What tactics should we follow in order to sabotage music stuff like that?

SH: As far as possible avoid listening to the music or talking about the bands (other than to expose their politics). Death In June are so musically awful that this isn’t difficult. A little bit of research quickly reveals where these bozos are at politically.

NB: Can you tell us three ways of getting rich quickly?

SH: Pay me to teach you how to chant your way to riches. Pay me to initiate you into the International Capitalist Guildhall Coven 3116, this entails sexual acts that you must consent to in advance. Buy 1000 copies of my new novel She’s My Witch and arrange them as a pyramid under whose base you have placed a sheet of paper on which you have written the amount of money you wish to obtain and ten reasons you deserve such riches.

NB: What about the politics of alien civilizations? Do you think that aliens have achieved communism? Was Posadas right.

SH: Aliens from civilisations that are much more advanced than ours will have returned to the classless societies from which all civilisations begin. Sadly Posadas was always destined to be centre right on the football pitch - regardless of whether he was playing two or three-sided football - because he had never encountered left-communism in all it’s originality nor understood the nature of its break with the Third International. That said his views on UFOs being communist were spot on!
