The Cultural Gutter is a website dedicated to thoughtful writing about disreputable art. The site is updated every Thursday afternoon. Carol Borden, Sachin Hingoo, Alex MacFadyen, Beth Watkins, and Michelle Kisner probe science fiction, draw out the best in comics, stare deeply into the screen, sink their fangs into horror, dally with romance, speedrun their brains on videogames, grapple with wrestling, and explore so much more. Our Guest Stars shine here. Thanks to Gutter aesthetic director Brian Kirby for all his swank art. Thanks to EJ Lee for providing the fantastic art we used in the Cultural Gutter book. The Cultural Gutter's signature nail polishes, "Disreputable," and, "Disreputable 2: Hellcat," were created by Andrea Evans of MPZ Cosmetics. MPZ Cosmetics also teamed up with Dill McKinley to recreate the classic fragrance, Cornichon by Dill McKinley for Gutterthon 2021. Follow us on Bluesky, Facebook, and Mastodon. We do not accept unsolicited pitches.

No part of this text or any text on the Cultural Gutter site may be used to train artificial intelligence systems without the written permission of the author and The Cultural Gutter.

Thanks for Supporting Gutterthon 2025!
