Thanks for your interest in Twisted Times, our more-or-less quarterly journal
of strange news, dangerous ideas, cacophonous pranks and dark humor.
Our next issue, number 18, will be out in mid-December. Exploring the
meta-theme of the car wreck in pop culture, the AUTO DESTRUCT issue will
include features on our recent car hunt in the Nevada desert (I bagged a
rogue bull Olds with an AK-47!), demolition derbies, wrecking yards, J.G.
Ballard, Big Daddy Roth, top-fuel dragsters, professional crash artists, art
cars, Carhenge, the Cadillac Ranch, lurid true car wreck stories, and many
other aspects of the auto fetish.
Issue no. 17, WHEN THEY KICK OUT YOUR FRONT DOOR, is on the stands now (see
list of retail outlets below), or can be mail-ordered for $3. It features
articles on the militia movement, the war on drugs, the Green Panthers (a
militant pro-hemp group), tips on raid-proofing your home, news, humor,
reviews, fake ads, Barbie surgery instructions, and coverage of the San
Francisco Cacophony Society's ill-fated "Race of Doom" suicide run on the
Golden Gate Bridge.
A four-issue subscription (roughly a year's worth) costs $10. The following
back issues are also available for $3 a pop:
No. 16: Drunken Santa rampage, Billboard Liberation Front, Evil Clowns,
Lawrence Welk Ate My Brain
No. 15: Survival Research Laboratories, Burning Man, Schwa's Bill Barker,
Supermarket Pranking.
No. 14: NIXON IN HELL
No. 13: REEFER MADNESS
