Fatal Visions - The Golden Age Michael Helms

Bloody Hell! They've done it again!



In 2012 the LedaTape Organisation put out Fatal Visions: The Wonder Years 1988-1989, the first volume to collect some of the earliest writings to appear in Fatal Visions, the Australian zine devoted to trash film and attendant culture that became a critically well-received and internationally distributed magazine.



Four years later Fatal Visions: The Golden Age 1990-1998, the second volume in the Fatal Visions series has come screaming into the world.



What's presented here is a personal selection by editor Michael Helms from the final fifteen issues of Fatal Visions. A true best-of and showcase for as many of the still highly relevant and entertaining articles, interviews and reviews from some of the most exciting writers working in trash film.
