All four issues of the legendary “Hate Zine” from the early 1990s are compiled in this super-mega-deluxe edition! This accursed magazine led to an obscenity trial and was blamed for a White House shooting as well as a triple suicide of three British youths.
For the first time, every last page of this new edition has been rendered in FULL SCREAMING COLOR! All of the original black-and-white line art has been hand-colored by original ANSWER Me! artists. All of the original grey halftone photos have been tinted or otherwise colorized with an array of digital tricks. All of the headlines and other graphic doodads have had color lovingly sprinkled upon them. It's one giant orgasm of color. It adds an entirely new lurid level to ANSWER Me!

Written entirely while incarcerated, this is Jim Goad's autobiographical rumination on the nature of guilt and scapegoating.
New York Press said: "Shit Magnet is a relentlessly sad, ugly, hateful, raging, repellent, violent and brutally candid memoir-manifesto. It's as hard to put down as it is to read. Think Celine, or Klaus Kinski's rabid autobiography. Mostly it's about Goad working out a rationale not only for his own violence, but for a generally violent world."

"GENDER PSYCHOSIS" is a term used to describe a formally recognized mental illness involving a society-wide break from reality where people get so demented trying to figure out what their genitals mean, NOTHING makes sense anymore.
It's a strange new world where men need tampons, get their balls waxed, and breastfeed their kids.
Where "homophobia" is a more heinous crime than knowingly infecting someone with HIV. Where fear of being called "homophobic" leads people to pretend that Ellen Degeneres is funny.

More raw emotion than you’re used to from the man his friends call the Iron Marshmallow.

Life Never Ends Well
5½ x 8½, 370 pages
In painstaking and often painfully funny detail, this book focuses on 500 cases where people died in ironic, unusual, or outright horrifying ways. Whether they died on roller coasters, in wood chippers, by shark bite, answering a Craigslist ad, while texting, in the course of masturbating, or simply because they laughed too hard, this book ties them all together in one big bloody red ribbon. You’ll read about severed penises, concert tragedies, kids who killed their parents, moms who killed their kids, women who murdered their husbands, couples who killed for fun, and felonious Santa Clauses. As this book illustrates in lurid detail, death is never fun—but it doesn’t have to be boring.
The Headache Factory
5½ x 8½, 164 pages
If Andy Warhol could have anticipated the Internet, he would have said it’s where everyone will be stalked for at least 15 minutes. Jim Goad describes himself as “a lowly neutrino in the vast universe of celebrity,” yet he attracts a certain breed of demented fan that treats him as if he’s the second coming of Christ—that is, until they feel he’s somehow snubbed them, at which point he transforms into Satan. The Headache Factory documents Jim’s extensive experiences fending off fans who morphed into stalkers. By turns terrifying and amusing, the book demonstrates how social media enables the antisocial to reach out and touch anyone they want—even if their target doesn’t want to be touched.
