This book contains facsimile reprints of the rare booklets "Sketches of Naughty Ladies", "Confessions of a Taxi Dancer" and "Chorus Queens, or, The Private Lives of the Hotcha Chorus Girls". Enter the world of Johnson Smith &amp; Company, or at least some of the more risque parts of it. In the beginning of the 20th century a family could have two catalogs to survive. One was the Sears-Roebucks catalog, and from it you could buy everything from horse bridles to clothing and kitchen utensils. In fact, just about everything you absolutely needed to live you could buy right from the pages. And then there was everything you didn’t need, but really wanted-and that’s where Johnson Smith &amp; Co. came in. From whoopie cushions to pistols, this thick catalog was truly the "Necronomicon" to Sear’s "Holy Bible". Established in 1914, they produced all sorts of novelties, many of them quite cruel. If it didn’t cause physical harm, it would send you home shamed. When WWII broke out, they quickly cranked out 1.5" novelty buttons that said "To Hell with Japan", "To Hell With Hitler", and even the phonetic "Moider Dem Japs". Johnson Smith was for the people. A wave of conservatism washed over the country, reacting to those care-free previous decades. Gritty pulp novels and Tijuana Bibles fed the street level need for sex and violence, but it wouldn’t be another decade before the word “pinup” was coined. In the JS &amp; Co. product lines they had a number of publications of varying interests and quality. Offering full books to nickel or ten-cent booklets. From money making idea guides to Minstrel Show routines, exposés of the Masons and the Klan, Black Magic and dreaded White Slavery. Because JS &amp; Co. was aiming for the mass audience, they knew what most people LOVED: the lowest common denominator. That meant skirting as close to the issue of sex as possible in the open market.

Underworld Amusements

Underworld Amusements has released a compilation of Essays and Aphorisms on Egoism, edited by Kevin I. Slaughter. The writings collected here are from the contemporaries of Ragnar Redbeard, radical thinkers who went against the herd with all their might. They upheld themselves as Gods, all other concerns come after that. Blasphemous, mocking and visceral, they are the children of Nietzsche, Stirner and Thoreau. Though often overlapping with Anarchists, they are too individualistic for many modern anarchists who are often just Socialist-minded egalitarian Utopians.

Religion & Spirituality

A long-form poem of negation and egoism, of scorn and cynical delight. Included is a URL for a free full audiobook read by Kevin I. Slaughter.  Benjamin DeCasseres (is) the Pontius Pilate of America.  -H.L. Mencken  A passionate, erratic poet… strives to shake the foundation of the world.  -The Saturday Review of Literature  He occupies a niche that is all his own and asks space to stand for no other man . -The Nation  DeCasseres is the most fiery and independent writer that I know of.  -Remy de Gourmont  There is but one Benjamin DeCasseres. And he is perhaps the one living wonder of the literary world. It is fortunate that such an one must be born, that he cannot be made; especially that he cannot be imitated, for if every one wrote like DeCasseres readers would go mad. That he can keep in any semblance of thought-order such whirls of words is something to marvel at. Yet to read him once, twice, is to experience the greatest mental exhilaration. -New York Times
