Adult is a magazine of new erotics. Through photography, conversation, art, criticism, essays and original reporting, it returns to the first meaning of "radical"--the roots of things, traced below the skin. "The first issue reads as if Hustler married The Paris Review," said New York magazine, while The New Republic declared that "Adult hits its mark: it straddles the mundane and the shocking in a way that feels natural." The second issue explores what the art critic Leo Steinberg called "the condition of being deathbound and sexed," and includes a profile of the cult-film idol Udo Kier at home in Palm Springs, an interview with the masterful English painter Cecily Brown and a gorgeously reported feature on Satanism in the city from journalist Katie Baker. Other contributors include poet Melissa Broder, writer and artist Molly Crabapple, porn star and writer Stoya, author Stephanie LaCava, artist and writer Brad Phillips, novelist Catherine Lacey and more. Photographers include John Edmonds, Stacey Mark and Natasha Gornik; artists and illustrators include Quentin Jones, SamMcKinniss, Mike Rinaldi and Mia Schwartz. The magazine is edited by Sarah Nicole Prickett and creative-directed by Berkeley Poole.

Adult is a magazine of new erotics. In photography, conversation, art, criticism, essays and original reporting, it returns to the first meaning of "radical"--the roots of things, traced below the skin. In Adult no. 1, we discover sex in the novels of Gordon Merrick, steal Rachel Kushner's emails, and spy on masturbating friends, shot by Kava Gorna. We profile three maverick filmmakers from three generations: Ryan Coogler, Deborah Kampmeier and David Cronenberg. Katherine Bernard builds a shrine to Erica Jong's Fear of Flying, now 40 years old, and Wangechi Mutu, the Kenyan-American artist, shares her dark materials. Various kinds of bodies are portrayed in photographs by Nancy Reyes, Flora Hanitijo and Henrik Purienne, and in fictions by Dodie Bellamy, Tamara Faith Berger, Kristopher Jansma and more. Our written features cover the ends of an empire, from the last great toy factory to the national nightmare that is Florida. Plus, Adult delivers a preview of Mia Schwartz and Chris Randle's very graphic novella, Charivari.

This is a comprehensive sourcebook on the world's most famous vampire, with more than 700 citations of domestic and international Dracula films, television programs, documentaries, adult features, animated works, and video games, as well as nearly a thousand comic books and stage adaptations. While they vary in length, significance, quality, genre, moral character, country, and format, each of the cited works adopts some form of Bram Stoker's original creation, and Dracula himself, or a recognizable vampiric semblance of Dracula, appears in each. The book includes contributions from Dacre Stoker, David J. Skal, Laura Helen Marks, Dodd Alley, Mitch Frye, Ian Holt, Robert Eighteen-Bisang, and J. Gordon Melton.
