LORD HORROR: REVERBSTORM
A graphic novel rendering of the notorious Lord Horror mythos that shows up most of today’s purveyors of “extreme horror” as the poseurs they are.
LORD HORROR
LORD HORROR was never reprinted after its initial run (a large portion of which was confiscated by British police), making this one of the rarest and most sought-after horror novels of all time, and the most famous entry in Savoy Books’ multi-media Lord Horror saga.
JEANNE’S JOURNAL
Those lucky few who’ve read Arlette Ryvers’ translation of JEANNE’S JOURNAL all seem to exhibit similarly awe-struck reactions, and having finally gotten around to experiencing this pervy masterwork myself, I fully understand the adulation.
HOUSE OF PAIN
It doesn’t exactly break new ground (naughty nuns are hardly a novelty in erotic fiction), and I’m not entirely sure the “classic” tag is appropriate, but HOUSE OF PAIN does nonetheless deserve credit for the very real sense of anguish that emanates from its pages.
THE GAS
The idea of a man-made drug causing people to lose their sexual inhibitions had been done before THE GAS saw print and after, but no other novel took the concept as far as Platt did.
FRANKENSTEIN ’69
I’ll say this: I really want to sample whatever the pseudonymous Ed Martin was on when he wrote this mess!
FLOWERS OF HELL
An attempt at extreme erotica in which the erotic business is far outweighed by the extremity.
EVIL COMPANIONS
This depraved yet undeniably artful late-sixties artifact is one of American literature’s great unheralded sickies.
THE DARK MANSION
The set-up of this so-so late-sixties quickie is strikingly similar to that of the Swedish film THE SINFUL DWARF
CUSTOM MADE SLAVES
Initially published as part of the aptly named Bizarre line of S&M themed erotica, this book has little to offer from a literary standpoint but is plenty wild.
