John Harrison is the pied piper of sleaze. A passionate advocate of all things weird and wild, John is a collector and expert on a number of sordid subjects including comic books, amusement parks, horror movies, true crime, stag films ( Anal Dwarf is one of his prize possessions), and vintage paperback novels. John is also the author of Hip Pocket Sleaze , the definitive book on paperback pulp from Headpress Books . Hip Pocket Sleaze is not only an entertaining and insightful overview of the pulp paperback and its many interesting incarnations- lesbian pulp, Nazisploitation, sexploitation, hippiesploitation, and more- but also a handy how-to guide on how to get some of these lurid, lusty and oddly fascinating vintage books into your grubby little hands. A freelance writer based in Melbourne, Australia, John has written for scads of print and online publications ( including the Mr Skin blog !), is currently working on a new book, Rene Bond: America’s Tragic Teenage Fantasy .
