Pile your hair high, shine your leather jacket, pop the switchblade, and turn on the devil's music Get ready to roar down the desolate American highway with eight tales of hoods, hot rods, and hellcats "The 1950s are recreated one more time, but here it's with a savage, razor-honed edge you'll never find in Grease, Happy Days, or American Graffiti," from the introduction by the legendary Mick Farren. Hoods, Hot Rods, and Hellcats features brand new fiction from Eric Beetner, Chad Eagleton, Christopher Grant, Matthew Funk, David James Keaton, Nik Korpon, Heath Lowrance, and Thomas Pluck.

Mick Farren has spent more than four decades in the thick of the culture wars as a commentator, activist, essayist, poet and performer. Being a founding figure in the 1960s underground press, who was forced to defend his work at the Old Bailey, he careered on through the London birth pangs of punk, the intoxicated madness of Lower Manhattan under Ronald Reagan, plus earthquakes and urban insurrection in Los Angeles. Here he shares some of his greatest stories with some of rock's most iconic people.

Mick Farren is a legendary poet, musician, author, critic, activist, countercultural icon, and one of the last true gonzo journalists. Enter his paranoid, radical, drug-addled and excruciatingly beautiful world; go to jail during the L.A. Earthquake, meet Doc Holliday and take a ride in Diabolo's Cadillac. ZONES OF CHAOS is a maelstrom of poetry, prose, essays, lyrics, commentary, and fiction.
