Join D-M Withers and Kit Heyam for an evening of conversation about A Jingle Jangle Song and the wider Lurid project!

Lurid Editions publish rediscovered queer authors from the twentieth century archive, a publishing project committed to intentional and conscientious acts of archival repair. Founded in 2022, A Jingle Jangle Song is the fifth title from Lurid Editions.

Buried in the archives for far too long, A Jingle-Jangle Song is the lost queer novel of the late 1960s. Eccentric and atmospheric, sweet and satirical, the novel celebrates how queer desire erupts in unexpected – and unignorable – ways.

"You get fed up singing jingle jangle songs and doing gigs around the country. There’s no time to wonder, no time to lie in the grass and dream. One loses so much: one just isn’t a real person any more.”
