Girl Gangs, Biker Boys, and Real Cool Cats is the first comprehensive account of how the rise of postwar youth culture was depicted in mass-market pulp fiction. As the young created new styles in music, fashion, and culture, pulp fiction shadowed their every move, hyping and exploiting their behaviour, dress, and language for mass consumption and cheap thrills. From the juvenile delinquent gangs of the early 1950s through the beats and hippies, on to bikers, skinheads, and punks, pulp fiction left no trend untouched. With their lurid covers and wild, action-packed plots, these books reveal as much about society’s deepest desires and fears as they do about the subcultures themselves. Girl Gangs features approximately 400 full-color covers, many of them never reprinted before. With 70 in-depth author interviews, illustrated biographies, and previously unpublished articles from more than 20 popular culture critics and scholars from the US, UK, and Australia, the book goes behind the scenes to look at the authors and publishers, how they worked, where they drew their inspiration and—often overlooked—the actual words they wrote. Books by well-known authors such as Harlan Ellison and Lawrence Block are discussed alongside neglected obscurities and former bestsellers ripe for rediscovery. It is a must read for anyone interested in pulp fiction, lost literary history, retro and subcultural style, and the history of postwar youth culture. Contributors include Nicolas Tredell, Alwyn W. Turner, Mike Stax, Clinton Walker, Bill Osgerby, David Rife, J.F. Norris, Stewart Home, James Cockington, Joe Blevins, Brian Coffey, James Doig, David James Foster, Matthew Asprey Gear, Molly Grattan, Brian Greene, John Harrison, David Kiersh, Austin Matthews, and Robert Baker.

A collection of contemporary work on pornographic film and video, edited by one of the founders of the field.

Pornography is rampant in today’s world. Elementary school kids waiting for a school bus in the morning can view porn on their tablet. Children on the playground can share porn with their friends on their smart phones. Yet on Sundays, people can walk around the church and pretend pornography is not a problem. In Beyond Porn, author Paul S. Heidenfelder explains how we can move beyond pornography and experience a much greater life—a life more rewarding than some people can even imagine. While the world can tempt us and challenge our morality, the Bible has incredible promises far greater than anything the material world can offer. Beyond Porn can show you these promises and help you to draw near enough to God to walk in them. Pornography is everywhere, and it is time for Christians to take this issue seriously. By learning what the Bible says about immorality and temptation, you can draw closer to God and begin walking in the Spirit. What supernatural events could be waiting for those who say no to sin—and yes to God?

The trumpets sound six million times in this wonderful exaggeration of pushing war to the brink. Mankind tends to repeat itself over and over again, but what would the world be like after six million mistakes?

With monumental heroes and precious little limbs that can't help but be blown off on the battlefield.

With too many sex jokes to count, and a son you nursed to health from a lonely piece of ocean driftwood. You'll find yourself wishing you found this book sooner. You might even end up sarcastically skipping through fields of joyous bloodshed in a euphoric trance induced by the war machine. Because sometimes you never know what war can bring you, and other times maybe war is what makes us feel alive. Either way you'll be sure to be blown to bits and out of proportion in this wacky Wednesday of a travesty. Because sometimes war comes at the worst possible times, and other times it seems to never stop and become the new norm. So pack your chin in and gather your friends, for this one stop shop on a bus wagon into the dragon's den of over the top cartoon warfare.

Hardcore pornographic films combine fantasy and real sex to create a unique genre of entertainment. Pornographic films are also historical documents that give us access to the sexual behavior and eroticism of different historical periods. This book shows how the making of pornographic films is a social process that draws on the fantasies, sexual scripts, and sexual identities of performers, writers, directors, and editors to produce sexually exciting videos and movies. Yet hardcore pornographic films have also created a body of knowledge that constitutes, in this digital age, an enormous archive of sexual fantasies that serve as both a form of sex education and self-help guides. Sex, Society, and the Making of Pornography focuses on sex and what can be learned about it from pornographic representations.
