Who was Wilhelm Plüschow? 







​Wilhelm Plüschow (1852-1930) was an infamous German photographer responsible for some of the more striking homoerotic images printed and sold around the turn of the twentieth century. Nosferatu was filmed in his home town. Plüschow seduced many Mediterranean boys and fought monsters. Honest.


PlÜschow returns

That infamous photographer of nude Mediterranean youths, Wilhelm Plüschow, has returned to his native Germany after receiving an invitation to attend a family reunion. This is surprising as, after many scandals (all deserved), none of his relatives will speak with Plüschow except his cousin von Gloeden, also openly homosexual and a more successful photographer, one respected in the art world. 

Plüschow soon finds himself suffering from "unconscious inferences"...or perhaps what he truly sees are spirits. What happens to the eyes of a man who has spent a lifetime of ogling boys with or without a camera? Can Plüschow suffer the indignities posed when these spirits peer back at him? 

PLÜSCHOW DREAMS BY EVENING

Wilhelm Plüschow has been told the most beautiful boy in the world can be found in the remote countryside of Greece. How can he resist the offer to photograph this Adonis? With a trusty young assistant, Plüschow embarks on a journey that will reveal some myths do have a basis in fact.​

PLÜSCHOW and the MANY deathS in venice

It is 1913 and Plüschow has been living in Berlin. A young man, Bonn (who may or may not be insane) claims that he needs Plüschow's help with a holy mission. After saving Plüschow's life once, the pair travel first to Naples to recover an artifact attributed to the magician Virgil. Then to Venice, where old rivals, new threats, and the stench of death is thick in the air.
