Publisher's Synopsis
Hip Pocket Sleaze is an excellent introduction to the world of vintage, lurid adult paperbacks. Charting the rise of sleazy pulp fiction during the 1960s and 70s and reviewing many of the key titles, it takes an informed look at the varied genres and markets from this enormously prolific era. From groundbreaking gay and lesbian themed titles to Armed Services editions, this book covers it all. Influential authors, publishers and cover artists are profiled and interviewed, including the godfather of gore HG Lewis, Ann Bannon, Bill Ward and many others.
