Union City - signed 'cinema ticket' inserts

With publication of my monograph on the 1980 film, Union City, imminent, I thought I'd share a photograph about the signed 'cinema tickets' which will be included as inserts within the first 200 copies sold.

This is a 3.5 star read, but not quite a 4, hence defaulting to 3. Stephen Palmer focuses on the years 1976-1978 in this book on the history of punk. For those of us who were there at the time (I was 11 in 1978, and had bought my first proper single - ...more

Andrew liked Jonathan Oliver's review of Lapvona: "A novel of the World, the Flesh, and the Devil. Also what God is or is not. Reminiscent of Corman’s take on the Masque of the Red Death in parts. Physical and earthy, but also searching for the spirit. A horror novel from the 21st century’s plague ye" Read more of this review »

I thoroughly enjoyed this medieval fantasy novel, although the words 'medieval' and 'fantasy' fall far short of categorising this book, which is more of a literary exploration of faith and filth, and would suggest a genre I wouldn't normally read. I ...more
