From pulp greats like Richard Allen and Ted Lewis to the literary underground and back again, all the writers in this groundbreaking anthology have put the emphasis firmly back on gratuitous story telling and break-neck plots.
Michael Moorcock's latest Jerry Cornelius collides with the streat realism of Yardie author Victor Headley. Nicholas Blincoe’s cool and stylish thriller writing meets the bitterly romantic confessions of Billy Childish. There’s the ballistic overload of Steve Aylett and the scorching hardcore prose of Stewart Home. Well dressed London gangsters fight for page space with Stella Duffy’s jail bait. With Catherine Johnson, Steve Beard, China Miéville, a host of untapped talent from the underground and the last words of Jack Trevor Story.
