Rumble At The Housing Project - Edward DeRoo

Old Terror In New Buildings



ACE BOOKS (US) D417
NEW YORK, USA
1ST PRINTING 1960

When they tore down that block of slums and built a clean new housing development, everybody said it would be the end of juvenile delinquency. But a kid like Larry Talos, who had to live there, could have told them different.

Larry was determined to keep out of the old gang, but the Spiders had other plans for him. To them the big apartments were just new 'turf' and Larry a natural recruit for a RUMBLE AT THE HOUSING PROJECT.

A new shocker of modern youth by the author of THE YOUNG WOLVES and THE FIRES OF YOUTH.

All Or Nothing - Jason Brummell


HOUSE OF THE SUAVE
UK
FIRST PRINTING 2013
  
Dig the new Breed baby!

It's 1966. All or Nothing dips its beautifully shod toes (clad in Ravel basket-weaves) into a time when the Modernist high street jewels of '63 have gone underground and leaving the spotlight to the new and the brash, unaware of their parody of what once was so pure.

Whilst London is swinging and the country is getting World Cup fever. The Government are increasingly concerned with the very real possibility of a devalued Pound and the need for the impending re-payment of part of the Marshall plan loans to the US.

In the midst of the high street peacock revolution one of the original faces returns to these shores after three years and sees the changes of the past. Amidst the world of the Government and the ruling classes an interloper sees the changes that are coming.

Both are drawn to each other, first through grief, then mutual respect and ultimately a belief in remaining true to the Modernist desire to change the natural order of things. Naturally this doesn't go unnoticed.

The ripples from those beautiful shoes spread far and wide!
