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 Miéville, Michael Moorcock, J.J. Connolly and the
editor of this searing collection, Tony White.
