Electronic book text
Bursting out of the literary underground, all the writers in this ground-breaking
anthology put the emphasis firmly back on gratuitous story-telling and brutal, break-neck plots. The scorching hardcore prose of Stewart Home's Sex Kick collides with the bitterly romantic confessions of Billy Childish. Nicholas Blincoe's cool and stylish thriller writing meets the street realism of Victor Headley's Retropolitan Police, while well-dressed London gangsters fight for page space with the old school skinheads of Richard Allen. The collections also includes contributions from boundary-pushing authors like China Mieville, Michael Moorcock, J.J. Connolly and the editor of this searing collection, Tony White.Contributors in order of appearance:Michael Moorcock, Ted Lewis, Richard Allen, Victor Headley, Nicholas Blincoe, Catherine Johnson, Roy A.

Connolly, Jane Graham, Karline Smith, Tim Etchells, Stewart Home, Jenny Valentish (nee Knight), Billy Childish, Darren Francis, China Mieville, Steve Beard, Tony White, Jack Trevor StoryBuy now!
