After being taken in by a white lesbian vampire brothel owner named Gilda, The Girl learns about freedom from the other women at the brothel and Bird, a vampire woman from the Lakota tribe and Gilda’s lover. The Gilda Stories tells the story of an escaped slave originally known as The Girl. At its 25 th anniversary, The Gilda Stories is an amazing introduction to the power of black female queer vampires. While the story featured the same protagonist in The Gilda Stories and reads like a chapter from the book, the story wasn’t published until nine years after the book was.
I first learned about Jewelle Gomez and her book The Gilda Stories through the short story Chicago 1927.
