Mel Gordon was a beloved member of the Morbid Anatomy community; he also served as a mentor to our founder Joanna Ebenstein. When he died in 2018, the two were collaborating on a book about the Parisian fin-de-siècle nightclubs called “The Cabarets of Death. Tonight, we will celebrate Mel Gordon’s legacy, focusing on the posthumous publication of his Cabarets of Death with the book’s editor, Morbid Anatomy founder Joanna Ebenstein, the screening of a short film by Ronni Thomas, a feature-length illustrated lecture by Morbid Anatomy European Attaché Eleanor Crook exploring the dark history of morbid popular rites and entertainments, and special guests.
