Horror Panegyric
Supervert, creator of PervScan, is pleased to announce the publication of its essay “Horror Panegyric” by Savoy Books in England. While the essay doesn’t address sexual perversity directly, it continues Supervert’s research into vanguard and, in this case, transgressive literature. Here is the blurb from supervert.com:
Do you like your literature transgressive? Ok, quick, can you name the author of the first book since Hubert Selby’s Last Exit to Brooklyn to be sent to an English jail for his creative work?
You would think that doing a few months in prison for having written and published a novel would earn a guy some serious notoriety. Instead his work appears to be so transgressive that it dumbfounds even those who normally claim to like that sort of thing. It transgresses the transgressors. It freaks them right the fuck out.
Horror Panegyric seeks to redress this situation — to give notoriety where notoriety is due. Horror Panegyric is a hardcover book published by Savoy Books in England. It begins with Supervert’s essay “Horror Panegyric,” an analysis and appreciation of the Lord Horror novels created by David Britton and Michael Butterworth, the founders of Savoy Books. It was the first of these novels that got Britton sent to Strangeways Prison.
In addition to Supervert’s essay, Horror Panegyric includes excerpts from the difficult-to-find Lord Horror novels (Lord Horror, Motherfuckers: The Auschwitz of Oz, and Baptised in the Blood of Millions) and a timeline of Lord Horror productions (books, comics, CDs). It features cover art made by the renowned John Coulthart.
Horror Panegyric is a limited edition hardcover that you can obtain directly from Savoy Books or from Amazon.com (while supplies last!). The entire text — including Supervert’s essay and the novel excerpts — is also available online here at supervert.com.
This was not a work-for-hire. Supervert wrote “Horror Panegyric” on its own initiative out of a desire to publicize the underappreciated work of Savoy Books. Please tell your friends.
Regular PervScan posting will resume this week. Meanwhile please have a look at Horror Panegyric. Thanks.
