Is a zine of some reknown, written by
John Marr (no, not the guy from
The Smiths). He has been writing this zine for more than a decade, concentrating on "the unpleasant, unhealthy, yet oddly gratifying task of reveling in the more
sordid and violent side of life.
Dead people in Disneyland.
Santa Cruz Serial Killers.
Molasses Floods.
Soccer Riots". etc.
His zine is available from all good counter-culture bookstores, or you can visit his site at members.tripod.com/~johnmarr/mcbf.html
Most of his zines follow a specific theme, as detailed above. He does not merely duly report on these events, but provides solid historical context, and frequently engaging (not gruesome, more representational) pictures.
For example, #15 contains:
Mormon cult killings, postal multicide update, the best kiddy ransom kidnappings, '70s confession magazines, book reviews, etc. - for a whopping $1.50
Of late, he has started creating a yearly calander of such events (never recycling events), and is featured from time to time on the www.gettingitnow.site
