Bücher von Steve Hussy

You wait three years for a new SAVAGE KICK and then three come along in a few months. Each issue full of exclusive stories that foreground the dark and fascinating underbelly of literature. SK#8 is the first of them... CONFESSIONS deals with people revealing their darkest - or sweetest - secrets. That concept has been at the core of every issue of THE SAVAGE KICK. Previous writers Robert McGowan and Steve Hussy return; along with folks like Cathi Unworth and MSP's latest member, David Noone. SK#8 Contents: --- Savage Kick's Exclusive Interview with Cathi Unsworth --- Intoxicated Man by Cathi Unsworth --- Fourth Degree Burn by Amy Yolanda Castillo --- The Fix by R.C. Rogers --- Exclusive Interview with David Noone --- Confessions of a Tennessee Lowlife by Anthony Tinsman --- Secretary by Robert McGowan --- Harvest by Steve Hussy --- Mara by Grant Flint

"I had learnt that teachers are almost exclusively smug, phony left-wing, backstabbing, pseudo-intellectual, frequently stupid, hypocritical cunts. But I better explain all that. "And why you need to run, fucking run, from them." --- After quitting teaching in his late twenties, Steve Hussy became an editor of Murder Slim Press. He then became penniless due to be being screwed over by one of his co-editors. Forced back into teaching, he follows a series of rules to ensure that he keeps his job... whilst constantly watching and writing about the strange and often repellent hundred-plus teachers that he works with. For Hussy, his students are rarely the downside of the job... The true pitfall is the charmless, corporate face of modern education. --- Hussy's sparse, venomous writing - first in STEPS and then in numerous literary magazines - has drawn comparisons to the darkest and most honest confessional writers.

It's here, folks. The SAVAGE KICK LITERARY MAGAZINE #7 will continue to push the boundaries of ballsy literature, mixing writers you know and love with new discoveries in the grit-lit genre. We could release a book every year, but we prefer to wait until it's just damn right. SK#7 is cooked perfectly... rare to blue with shots of whisky to wash it down with. The writers and artists in this issue are: --- Carson Mell --- Gene Gregorits --- Mark SaFranko --- Jon Terranova --- Steve Hussy --- Joel Williams --- Shea Hennum --- Mark Rogers --- Chris Rogers --- John Biggs --- Jonny Gibbings --- Joe Machine --- Oliver Pover. THE SAVAGE KICK #7 is ideal for fans of confessional and dark crime literature. Think Charles Bukowski, Louis-Ferdinand Celine and John Fante. Then throw in some Joe R. Lansdale and Jim Thompson. That potent recipe creates a book you won't be able to put down.
