THE PRIMAL SCREAMER / Nick Blinko     A Gothic Horror novel about severe mental distress and punk rock. The novel is written in the form of a diary kept by a psychiatrist, Dr. Rodney H. Dweller, concerning his patient, Nathaniel Snoxell, brought to him in 1979 because of several attempted suicides. Snoxell gets involved in the nascent UK anarcho-punk scene, recording EPs and playing gigs in squatted Anarchy Centers. In 1985, the good doctor himself “goes insane” and disappears. This semi-autobiographical novel from Rudimentary Peni singer, guitarist, lyricist, and illustrator Nick Blinko, plunges into the worlds of madness, suicide, and anarchist punk. Lovecraft meets Crass in the squats and psychiatric institutions of early 80s England. This new edition collects Blinko´s long sought after artwork from the three previous incarnations.     ( PM Press 2011 / US )  BUY PRINT - Euro: 11.50

WORK - Capitalism, Economics, Resistance by CRIMETHINC.     From the industrial revolution to the internet, from colonialism to the stock market, from the financial crisis to the upheavals taking place right now, Crimethinc´s latest book offers an overview of how capitalism functions in the 21st century and how we can get beyond it it. After so much technological progress, why do we have to work more than ever before? How is it that the harder we work, the poorer we end up compared to our bosses? When the economy crashes, why do people focus on protecting their jobs when no one likes working in the first place? Can capitalism survive another century of crises? Our newest book, entitled Work, addresses these questions and a great many more.     ( Crimethinc 2011 / USA )  BUY PRINT - Euro: 8.00
