About this Substack

After an almost 50 year layoff, I started writing about movies again in 2023. This is the place for reviews and essays, about movies and other topics.

I’m a fiction writer these days, mostly, and also the former co-editor/co-publisher of Frighten the Horses, a zine about sex and politics that I put out with Cris Gutierrez in 1990-94. Among the writers we published were Kim Addonizio, Alexander Chee, Carol Queen, Brian Bouldrey, Tanya Dewhurst, Marilyn Jaye Lewis, Patrick (then Pat) Califia, and many others. I’m also the author of two books of sex stories and some other works. More about me on my website markpritchard.net.
