Speed Freaks - Peter Cave

To the Angels, class means speed

Publisher: New English Library (NEL)

Publishing Year: March 1975

Printing: New Edition (Second)

Cover Price: 35p

Filming the Angel's life is different and more difficult than filming a pop festival. But Gerry Shipton manages to persuade his backers that this film will hit. But only as long as he includes other speeding thrills.

The speedway, the Wall of Death, open up new grounds for the Hell's Angels to show off their daredevil skills, prove their reckless courage. Dreams of stardom and the silver screen are new expeditions for them. So Gerry finds that things get out of control. Everything they touch turns sour; their mark of destruction.

Another great Hell's Angel story from Peter Cave, that is just too close to the truth to be ignored.

JAILBAIT STREET

Running wild from darkness till dawn - snatching at love in deserted alleys or lonely rooftops - today's tough juvenile punks have turned our city streets into asphalt jungles of terror and lawlessness.

This is the savagely realistic story of a teen-age gang - the Sultans - and their mixed-up leader, Silkie Meegan, whose desperate search for manhood drove him into frenzied excesses of violence and vice. . .

From the vengeance beating with bicycle chains of a rival gang. . .to the degraded sharing of sweet virginal Carol with the rest of his gang. And finally to the fateful family feud with his own father over Charlotte - his father's prostitute mistress - who first taught Silkie her own kind of Jailbait Street love, then hired him to dig up new "business" for her.

In dingy hotel rooms, in public places, in ordinary peoples' houses, the exterminator goes about his business: his quarry is vermin, the vermin of society. . .

Moving in space and time between the society we know, and the edge of another galaxy light years away, this savage study of violence, hypocrisy and the abuse of power is at once tragic and comic, satirical and pathetic. William Burroughs has created an incredible nightmare world, peopled by junkies, pimps, quack doctors and green adolescents - weird and disturbing characters like the Lemon Kid, basic J. Audrey the homosexual. . .and the EXTERMINATOR himself. . .

The year is 1988. Adolescent guerilla packs of specialised humanoids are routing the forces of civilised nations and ravaging the earth. From their small beginnings in 1969 as petrol gangs, dousing their victims with petrol and setting them on fire for kicks, they have grown to an army, dedicated to violence and death. When wholesale slaughter erupts, the battle continues underground where the survivors evolve into The Wild Boys, hordes of pitiless homosexual warriors who move in and destroy the cities - until civilisation collapses, revealing a future of horrifying dimensions. . .

THE TICKET THAT EXPLODED

utilises William Burroughs's now famous fold-in-method to give a fragmented and many-sided vision of modern reality. The result is at once an original work of fiction, an intensely poetical novel and a political and morale fable. the author's preoccupation is with the plethora of forces in the world that attempt to excercise 'conrol', and his fantastic imagination once again weaves extraordinary images and ideas into a world that is both personal and universal.

The authoR of THE NAKED LUNCH and THE SOFT MACHINE has now written a book that will take its place among the classics of our time.

The Soft Machine - William Burroughs

THE SOFT MACHINE

is the immediate successor to 'The Naked Lunch', a book which has, in a short time, established itself as one of the key works of post-war literature.

The author's principal preoccupations are still the juxtaposition of good and evil, human passion and sensuality and the power of the machine, the struggle of conflicting forces to control human environment; and with the awareness that nightmares have their counterparts in real life.

This is not a book for the casual reader; nor is it for the squeamish. the serious reader, however, will find a technical mastery, a courage with experimentation and a scientific eye for the new literary research that is unparalleled in modern writing.

Scum - Roy Minton

BANNED

Rox Minton's controversial television play SCUM was commissioned by the BBC, filmed, advertised, then suddenly withdrawn a short time before it was due to be screened.

The decision to veto caused violent reactions - from those who supported the censorship as well as those who felt outraged by the Establishment's ban.

Now Roy Minton has re-written the plays as a novel: and, for the first time, the public has the chance to make up its own mind.

It is an uncompromising, often shocking and outspoken comment on the bleak, brutal world of a Borstal: a powerful story that tells the truth about the boys labelled 'Scum' - and the men they call 'Screws'!

A Major film of SCUM is planned for the near future.

LAKELAND 228

LONDON, UK

FIRST BRITISH EDITION 1972

In one of the world's most famous holiday areas - Miami, Florida - the playground becomes a prison to many. Tom Morse was a young Jazz musician who played with Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, and other bands in the U.S.A. and Europe.

It was during a 'jam session' that Tom's life was turned right-side up and he turned away from drugs and drink to help other young people find meaning in life.

This book tells the stories of some of the young people who have found help and new direction for living through 'Surfside Challenge' - inspiring reading for people of every age group but particularly helpful for adults who 'can't understand young people today' as well as for puzzled youngsters who think there's nothing certain worth living for.
