Jeff Lint was the author of some of the strangest and most inventive satirical pulp Science Fiction of the late 20th century. As well
as writing satirical classics such as Jelly Result and Fanatique, he also created TV cartoon Catty and the Major and cult 70s comic The
Caterer. Like his contemporary, Philip K Dick, he did not gain any widespread recognition until a movie adaptation of one of his stories
(The Jarkman) appeared shortly after his death. He was the first person to steal Michael Moorcock's 'Multiverse' idea and the first to
point out to Jack Vance how unfortunate the title Servants of the Wankh really was.

Lint's reputation has undergone a renaissance in recent years, largely due to the overwhelming popularity of the Steve Aylett biography, Lint, due out on March
15th 2007.
"Lint: in Steve Aylett, this clearly much misunderstood writer has found his Boswell, his Gilchrist, his Ackroyd. A cultural
unearthing to equal those of Philip K Dick or Harry Stephen Keeler, this has to be the literary biography of the year. Highly
recommended." ALAN MOORE
... are no longer available. We ran a competition here in the weeks leading up to the publication of Steve Aylett's biography of Lint, gave away a bunch of copies, and people seemed to like it. Afraid you'll have to go fork out for it in the shops now...
If you liked it though, we'd be really grateful if you'd go leave a review on Amazon.co.uk and/or Waterstones.com, or on your own site, and send us a message to tell us about it.

Ground shattering first release on Doppelganger Records from Galaxian. 7 tracks of sublime electro inspiration. Dark atmospherics, menacing basslines and creeping grooves combine to make this a future classic.
The new issue is available for purchase at our website: www.absurdistjournal.com/current.htm
Issue #8 demonstrates why this journal has been hailed as the figurehead publication for absurd and surreal literature. Throughout these pages readers will find a man with an endless supply of money in his pockets, a nun who finds teeth in her ice cream cone, and a giant mechanized Michael Ironside stalking the streets of Galveston, Texas. Readers will also find the apocalypse as experienced by the cast of Friends and a race of chickens that enslaves a man and forces him to eat the last egg ever to be eaten. No one theme or tone dominates this issue. Some stories feature mindless violence or irreal nonsense. Others display sharp cultural satire or brain-tingling wordplay. At a time when most fiction serves up the standard fare of realism and common sense, issue #8 offers a zany feast for the ravenous imagination.
Includes stories by Sam Pink, Blake Butler, D. Harlan Wilson, Rhys Hughes, Ofelia Hunt, Cameron Pierce, Mike Young, Matthew Simmons, Darby Larson, Aaron Sitze, and Adam Breckenridge.
