I think Big Dick was quite chuffed with the Ltd Ed Ginsters Xmas Turkey Pastie and half-bottle of Glens vodka I sent to the old folks' home by way of payment.

Loved the story. And the end was worth a chuckle

Truly, it was an honour and a privilege to showcase the great man's work. For further insights into the ultra-violent world of Richard Stains, a second thread, launched to coincide with the publication of his comeback novel, Lobster Holocaust, and the proposed reissue of Bloodbath For Ethel ("The Bamboo Guerrillas of domestic violence. I loved it" - Snorings From The Sepulchre), this one boasting a stellar contribution from Stains' prodigy Steve Bates, author of three cutting edge nasties including What's Your Problem You Stuck-up Wanker? A search on Amazon and eBay suggests Tales From The Smoking Room is no longer available which is a shame as it boasts an impressive line-up, Craig's ghoulish 'Sport is Horror' gem A Game Of Billiards rounding off a collection which includes contributions from Stephen Bacon, Mike Chinn, Troo Topham, V.C. Jones, Matthew Crossman and Mike Harding. Just goes to show, it pays to get in quick these days when it comes to small press and independent publications. Rescue Me! Due to usual meticulous planning and attention to detail, i just realised that i'm now completely out of contemporary stuff and there are still four days to fill! If the worst comes to the worst, there's plenty of vintage magnificence to fall back on (i'm loathe to further ransack the 'Filthy' archives on Vault MK I in case some of those who contributed may not wish to be reminded of the fact), but I will fire off another salvo of distress flares later and see where that gets us. Many thanks to those kindly authors who've already donated so generously to the cause!

Here's a devil-puzzler for you. This was sent me last night in response to above shameless scrounging. The author - who wishes to remain Anonymous - informs me that (unlike him or her) it has no publishing history and "I won't be remotely offended if you don't use it as the story repels me deeply." How else to prepare you for it? Pan-like. Definitely Pan-like. And by that i mean the mid-late series Pan's, the proto-torture porn shockers which deservedly attracted rave reviews along the lines of "repulsive, sadistic, misogynistic filth with no redeeming features whatsoever." How can you possibly resist? Step this way to find out what our narrator has scheduled for the rest of the evening, "After I Kill Her" ... Attachments:

Well done, "Anonymous" - a true penny dreadful for the twenty first century with an ending that's just perfectly horrible!

Oh, someone's a sick puppy! Didn't expect that ending at all, dem. Took me a second or two to grasp the implications. But who is Mr or Ms Anonymous? It couldn't be the jovial Mr Mains, could it? He likes doing truly short vignettes on occasion.

I have a feeling I've read a story with that 'twist' before, so it might be something Johnny showed me once upon a time, but I think anonymous is Jojo.

Sick, perverse and utterly reprehensible. I like it!

He likes doing truly short vignettes on occasion. And I should have added: Oh yes - and he is a sick puppy.

Not guilty of that one, though I do have one that could top it quite easily called STICKING YOUR HEAD OUT IS DANGEROUS...
