 The Baddest of the Bad
Edited by Matthew Louis ISBN: 978-0-9826887-0-0 Available now The very worst, by which we mean the very best, of the underground pulp zine, Out of the Gutter. Is it the ingenious revival of the short story in the 21st century, or just a symptom of a society gone mad? Part punk zine, part National Lampoon Magazine, part Black Mask, and part indescribable insanity, Out of the Gutter has redefined what a fiction journal is supposed to be and earned thousands of dedicated fans in the process. Collected here is the most vital, compelling and disturbing material from the first 600-plus pages of uncensored and unrestrained short fiction and nonfiction Out of the Gutter has featured to date, including true prison stories from Seth "Soul Man" Ferranti, a real-life tour of an LA sex club, and a full docket of the fierce stories Out of the Gutter is famous for. Read reviews of this anthology by Bookgasm, Spinetingler and The Celebrity Cafe.
| "GUTTER is the bastard child of Blue Murder . . . it's profane, lewd, violent, and frequently funny."
—Crimespot.net “The work in the pages of OOTG is not for the weak at heart. It's gritty, non-compromising writing and just about every story is a compelling and sometimes disturbing read ... Which, again, says a lot to the quality of OUT OF THE GUTTER. Whether it's a two page missive or a twenty page short the writers of this collection really deliver the goods. It's full of tales of humanity gone wrong at its best and it's entertaining as all get out.” —Aintitcool.com
