Publisher's Synopsis
The particulate haze of closed-door sleaze....
The desperate solipsism of a killer's written confessions... The conspiratorial apocrypha of a supreme underground evil... This hermetic triumvirate... densely internalised by digital content data hoarders... cast their sway across the post-ism antitopia of.. MAGENTA SHADOWS. "Those book-tubing candy-planets... who bulldoze the slop-troughs of horror fiction whenever the one of their precious pseudo-boutiques rings out another "lost classic" from the hamster cage overstock of mass market archive mills... won't be receiving any of their prescribed warm-fuzzies in Poe's MAGENTA SHADOWS. The aims of the text are not devoted to mere surface-level reminiscence and/or recreation of those pre-pube halcyon days of sneaking a peak at the stalkers and the slashers and the strippers and the flashers that crowded both the department store shelves and late-night cable blocks of his youth. The endgame of MAGENTA SHADOWS is something much more elusive... much more captivating... a dark reinvention of elemental genre tropes that blatant commercialism has worn and rode to a thinning fade." - Simon Gamulla (DISTURBATIONAL zine, SCOURGE GUTTER: A SEQUENTIAL DECADENCE MOVIE SPECIAL)
