"A beautiful looking object that is literally packed with great writing. You will want to own this, and return to it again and again." (Tony O'Neill, '3am Magazine')" A very unusual literary magazine for a number of reasons... [especially in] that all the short stories in it are worth reading." (Nick Mamatas, 'The Smart Set') 'The Savage Kick: The Early Years' collects the first four years of the influential - and controversial - literary magazine. Among the extensive 351 page book is an early 2005 interview with Doug Stanhope, a previously unavailable Joe R. Lansdale story, full page sections from 'The Cartoon Diary of Joe Matt', and an extensive and exclusive 2006 interview with Jim Goad. The style is adult, with brutally confessional stories and somehow-even-darker-than-noir tales. Suicide attempts, drugs, alcohol and murder feature heavily in stories that descend into tailspins of self destruction. But it's not all morose despair... with many tales having a strong undercurrent of pitch black humour.The stories are accompanied by beautiful black-and-white art from Richard Watts and Steve Hussy.Full contents:--- 'Renewal' by Dan Fante --- Savage Kick's Exclusive Interview with Dan Fante --- 'Role of a Lifetime' by Mark SaFranko --- 'Tara' by Steve Hussy --- 'The Parks' by Thomas Salter --- 'Deviation' by Anna Caffrey --- 'Red' by Ricardo Daire --- Savage Kick's Exclusive Interview with Joe R.

It's here, folks. The SAVAGE KICK LITERARY MAGAZINE #7 will continue to push the boundaries of ballsy literature, mixing writers you know and love with new discoveries in the grit-lit genre. We could release a book every year, but we prefer to wait until it's just damn right. SK#7 is cooked perfectly... rare to blue with shots of whisky to wash it down with. The writers and artists in this issue are: --- Carson Mell --- Gene Gregorits --- Mark SaFranko --- Jon Terranova --- Steve Hussy --- Joel Williams --- Shea Hennum --- Mark Rogers --- Chris Rogers --- John Biggs --- Jonny Gibbings --- Joe Machine --- Oliver Pover. THE SAVAGE KICK #7 is ideal for fans of confessional and dark crime literature. Think Charles Bukowski, Louis-Ferdinand Celine and John Fante. Then throw in some Joe R. Lansdale and Jim Thompson. That potent recipe creates a book you won't be able to put down.

The Savage Kick #7

Murder Slim Press

"I had learnt that teachers are almost exclusively smug, phony left-wing, backstabbing, pseudo-intellectual, frequently stupid, hypocritical cunts. But I better explain all that. "And why you need to run, fucking run, from them." --- After quitting teaching in his late twenties, Steve Hussy became an editor of Murder Slim Press. He then became penniless due to be being screwed over by one of his co-editors. Forced back into teaching, he follows a series of rules to ensure that he keeps his job. . . whilst constantly watching and writing about the strange and often repellent hundred-plus teachers that he works with. For Hussy, his students are rarely the downside of the job. . . The true pitfall is the charmless, corporate face of modern education. --- Hussy's sparse, venomous writing - first in Steps and then in numerous literary magazines - has drawn comparisons to the darkest and most honest confessional writers.
