Title: Zine stalwart comes up with the goods.
Product review: 400 pages of PURE GOLD!! Steve Puchalski started out in the publishing world producing a zine called SLIMETIME. Along with GORE GAZETTE and SLEAZOID EXPRESS it was one of the best publications of its type around in the 80's. Now he has compiled all those early issues into one amazing tome that will bring a sentimental tear to older horror, cult and sleaze fans like me, and open the eyes of a whole new audience to much cinematic cheese that they may not be aware of. This book has something for everyone, be they gorehound, arthouse, tv, transgressive or even mainstream fans.This updated version also includes a review of a live performance of Hunter S Thompson and lengthy essays on biker, drug and blaxploitation films.Puchalski is still involved in publishing, with his great SHOCK CINEMA magazine. Discover his roots with this book and you'll quickly be sending off a subscription cheque to that publication.In a word, this book is ESSENTIAL.
