OUT OF THE GUTTER 5

Payback's a bitch in our latest and greatest issue ...

Read the Bookgasm review!

We've got the results of the REVENGE SHORT FICTION CONTEST from Gischler and Smith! Find out what these two crime fiction aces deem the best!

And forget Dear Abby, we've got your advice column right here ... Brian Murphy has traveled the world, done hard time, kicked H and engaged in acts that would make a goat sick, and he's got no problem dishing out the straight dope to your yuppie, monkey ass.

We've also got the inside scoop on the Aryan Circle--the newest and among the most vicious gangs in the federal prison system--brought to you by a man who knows, acclaimed prison writer Seth "Soul Man" Ferranti.

And that ain't the half of it. Charlie Stella and Vicki Hendricks go slumming with us, as well as internationally acclaimed Western author Matthew P. Mayo and a ton of other pissed off and brilliant writers offering up subject matter ranging from cops killing cops to two separate morbidly obese murderers to office cubicle tensions that end in catastrophe to an appalling and hilarious look at Hollywood-style degeneracy. All of this, of course, informed and energized by the REVENGE thread that runs through our stunning fifth issue.

And don't forget, Out of the Gutter is packed with the always-fascinating fun facts, the infamous ad parodies, comics, illustrations, and stuff so off the wall it defies description ... This is a book you can take with you anywhere and always find something to stimulate and disturb your mind. Pack it on the bus, keep it in the bathroom, break it out on flights, long drives, the DMV, the breakroom at work--'cause guess what? This isn't any nose-in-the-air literary journal or insider publication that you gotta be initiated to appreciate. This is the democratization of literature, this is stuff that makes you smile, laugh out loud, cringe and maybe even get pissed off. But one thing's for sure, you'll get it, and once you get it, you'll want more.

"Out of the Gutter is not just some punk zine ... This filth is well-executed, tightly edited and focused on story construction."

—The UT Daily Texan

"GUTTER is the bastard child of Blue Murder . . . it's profane, lewd, violent, and frequently funny. Despite its low-rent origins, it's also a nice looking package."

—Crimespot.net

"Matthew Louis has thrown down the gauntlet, set a new standard for unflinching, deliciously dirty, exploitative tough-ass fiction."

—Victor Gischler, Edgar-nominated author of Gun Monkeys, Suicide Squeeze and Shotgun Opera

“While it’s great to see indie guys taking a chance on such a project, it’s even greater to see that project work. The boys residing in THE GUTTER are to be commended for pulling it off ... Buy one, read it in public, raise eyebrows and be proud.”

—Bookgasm.com

"[Out of the Gutter is] even a little harder than Thuglit.com. Stories are nicely separated into sections of 10-minute and 20-minute reads. I keep Issue One in the bathroom and Issue Two in the livingroom. Highly entertaining for those with a strong stomach. Very well written."

—Jason Thibault, founding editor of Optimum Wound Comics

"Really, if you have any interest in all things loathsome, vile, scandalous, vulgar and grotesque, OUT OF THE GUTTER is for you. This is a truly repulsive publication that you can happily cram at the back of your underwear drawer to hide from your parent or spouse ... Disgusting and without socially redeeming qualities, it’s the herpes-ridden juvenile delinquent of all periodicals."

—Charlie Huston, author of The Shotgun Rule

“The work in the pages of OOTG is not for the weak at heart. It's gritty, non-compromising writing and just about every story is a compelling and sometimes disturbing read. It's an impressive feat being that some of the stories are only a couple of pages long at the most. In many ways even the flash fiction, which barely clocks in at two pages per story, is some pretty entertaining pulp reading. Which, again, says a lot to the quality of OUT OF THE GUTTER. Whether it's a two page missive or a twenty page short the writers of this collection really deliver the goods. It's full of tales of humanity gone wrong at its best and it's entertaining as all get out.”
