A penny dreadful epic in the Ridiculous tradition exploring queer shame, gender dysphoria, mental illness, cannibalism, loneliness, folk religion, oral sex, the rise of cinema over vaudeville, werewolves, biology, masculinity, femininity, exhaustion, confetti cake, chiastic failure, literacy, memory, and death. Ghoul Hammond is a creature born in a castle laboratory, sewn together from 13 corpses and powered by a radio transmission from the void by one Dr. Bartimouse Hammond. We follow Ghoul as it consumes its creator and goes on to become an international star of stage and screen until it ultimately directs a movie musical adaptation of it's own life, casting as each other the circle of fiends who surrounded Doctor Hammond while he built Ghoul.
