Böcker av Jack Stevenson

The 26 stories in this book run the gamut from futuristic fables to tales of horror and mystery tinged with a B-movie vibe, some anchored in the mythology and landscapes of a legendary American past. They are séances about the folly of science run amok, the horror of the dead coming to life and the rank embarrassment that results when pompous authority figures wrestle in the mud with their repressed carnal desires. Original, twisted, perverse and joyously debauched, it conjures up a new kind of American folklore. Cover and original illustrations by noted German artist, Eva Müller.

"Well written, unaffected and ringing with authenticity," says R. Crumb about this offbeat, hard knocks American story that plays out on the mean streets of New Orleans and other big cities as three dropouts from a small town in upstate New York hit the open road in their search for better pizza, good live music and the cheapest rent in the whole USA. An entertaining yet at times harrowing journey through the back alleys and all-night diners of Reagan's minimum-wage America, it has a minor "Bukowski thread" to it and is sure to become a milestone in the annals of slacker literature.

10 historically-based, real life horror stories from Scandinavia include shocking and scintillating tales about witchcraft, plague, mad kings, hypnotized killers, nymphos, Nazi collaborators, etc. Penned in a narrative, non-academic writing style and featuring original artwork by German comics artist Eva Müller.

Traces the development of Scandinavian erotic cinema as it evolved in Denmark and Sweden and gauges the influence it had on other countries, particularly the US where it helped to set in motion the sexual revolution and contributed to the end of film censorship.
