Active Distribution edition:

The famous semi autobiographical novel from Rudimentary Peni singer, guitarist, lyricist, and illustrator Nick Blinko in a new stripped down white on black format.

This is the latest version of this anarchist punk ride through the mental health system of the UK. This “simple” version is how the author asked us if we could publish his book many years ago. Having recently re-established contact with Nick we put the project in to action. This book has no name, title or any identifying information, the cover is blank! We must be mad! Printed offset litho in Croatia. 100 pages

----------------------------

PM Press edition:

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.

Praise:

“Dense, haunted, shot through with black humour.” —Raw Vision

“Nick Blinko is a madman. That’s not intended as pejorative opinion but rather a statement of plain fact.” —Maximum RocknRoll

“The insights it offers into the punk scene and into the unsettling landscapes of its author’s mind are fascinating. The whole book has a distinct sense of coming from a mind unlike most we are used to.” —The Big Issue

“An intensely written and authentically Gothic look at the life of a man suffering extreme mental distress.” —Detour

“Fascinating and compelling.” —Kerrang

**every once in a while the shipping amounts will seem insane (usually for multiple record int’l orders or US orders with shirts and records together) but rest assured we check each and every order and will refund any differences.
