Definition of guignol in English English dictionary

Grand Guignol
That which thrives on grotesquery and gore

Everything quickly gets impossibly sensitive, aesthetic, ethereal, and opaquely lovely, yet there is a Grand Guignol thread running through it all that results in constant ominous tension, as though something dreadfully beautiful is going to happen at any moment—i.e., the author is going to turn queer.
