Not punk stories at all, but not really bad stories either.,
By zombiekittie "Katie Kurtz" (Jonestown, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gobbing, Pogoing and Gratuitous Bad Language: An Anthology of Punk Short Stories (Paperback)
Okay, I bought this book because I'm a punk and I thought that this would be highly entertaining to me...wrong. The only story I even like din here was the one by Poppy Z. Brite and it's a gothic story. The stories aren't bad at all they're just not what they say they are. xXx

Gobbing Pogoing and Gratuitous Average Fiction,
By Clark B. Timmins "q-25" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gobbing, Pogoing and Gratuitous Bad Language: An Anthology of Punk Short Stories (Paperback)
This collection of short stories suffers from an identity crisis. Some of the stories are about punk, some of the stories are by punks, but the collection doesn't really come together. Further, most of the stories are poorly written, poorly edited (or not edited), and generally uninteresting run-of-the-mill stuff ("I was disenchanted, I formed a band, we played some gigs, we broke up, I have angst" type stuff).This collection of punk short stories also includes a piece by Nick Blinko. His contribution, "Punk Alice", is not really a short story but is a dozen or so pages of doodles and scribblings. The art quality is not what you'd expect from looking at Blinko's albums (c.f., Rudimentary Peni), and the scribblings are mostly chess game notations. Blinko's piece is pretty much uninteresting All in all, not worth the money. 0 of 3 people found the following review helpful
