The cover says ' adults only ' , and the author's full name , Edward D. Wood Jr. ... Ed was some wild guy ... Known for the infamous film Plan Nine from Outer Space, he first did the astonishing " Glen or Glenda " ... a film which came out in 1953, released after the huge news story in '52 of the sex reassignment surgery of Christine Jorgensen ... who had nothing to do with this story, of course ... It inspired Ed, though ... and he made the film ... albeit without much in the way of gender reassignment ... only more transvestites and cross-dressing than the American public had ever seen ... Ed was obsessed with Angora sweaters , high heels and satin panties ... not only girls ... he really grooved when wearing them himself ... In this lurid novel, in Ed's own words : " Glen's mind seemed to move as fast as the state highway beneath the Cadillac's rolling wheels. He wasn't quite sure this was really happening to him. It seemed more like one of those bad dreams. But it was happening. He had been in Dalten Van Carter's bedroom, in his very bed, when it happened. He had been Glen , in Glenda's clothing. The police would know. They would find him. Glen's identification was in that velvet purse! They would find the bload soaked pink nightgown at the foot of the bed where he had let it lay when it fell around his feet. They would grill the colored boy until he told them everything he knew; everything that had gone on in that apartment prior to the murder. Maybe they coudn't touch him for the murder. But everything else would be lost. Glen and Glenda would be known. He would be of no further use to the syndicate. No one remained a part of the syndicate if they were no use to them. All they received was a big, all expenses paid, funeral . " ... This book was cited in the Susan Stryker book " Queer Pulp - Perverted Passions from the Golden Age of the Paperback " ( Chronicle, San Francisco 2001 ) ... The film for this book was entitled Glen or Glenda starred Bela Lugosi, as the pipe-smoking doctor who was going to explain all ...
