Contributors
AcknowledgementsBlurb: PUNK FICTION is a collection of short stories inspired by punk songs. The contributors are writers and musicians who have been hand picked from the generations following the punk revolution. Those who were positively influenced by the movement rather than those who played an active part in making it happen. Their instructions were simple. Pick a song that inspires you and write.
£1 from every copy of Punk Fiction sold will go to Teenage Cancer Trust, a charity devoted to improving the lives of teenagers and young adults with cancer. My current book in the background. Thirty-plus mostly short sharp shocks of five-six pages duration, approach similar to that adopted by Nicholas Royle' in the genre-hopping football anthology, A Book Of Two Halves, in that some authors dispense with the fiction altogether and instead devote their energy to commemorating the best gig they ever attended. In the case of Joolz Denby, no band has ever done it for her quite like The Ruts in a decrepit Bradford pub during the final year of Malcolm Owen's tragically short life. For Billy Bragg, it's The Clash at The Rainbow in May 1977. Alison Mosshart - Psycho Killer: Natural Born Killers in miniature. A couple who've given up on trying to kill each other make do with several El Paso residents instead, then it's off in the car to another city where they can go through the whole rigmarole anew. Peter Wild - Fodderstompf: The protagonist finds himself at the epicentre of the Manchester scene through no fault of his own: he's present at the Sex Pistols/ Slaughter & The Dogs gig, vaguely knows Shelley & Devoto from college, has his shoulder photographed next to Ian Curtis, etc. Despite all, he can't get into any of it, and detests the whole scene. Consequently, he finds himself mildly revered as a punk icon, his genuine hatred of everything being just the attitude lesser mortals aspire to. Stewart Home - Get Yourself Killed: The author, then a really snotty student, is taking the tube when a couple of squaddies board the same carriage. Knowing they can't lay a finger on him, he sets about taunting them.
