Vintage writing, innovative e-Format

We’re doubly delighted to make Lin Robinson’s FLESH WOUNDS available to readers–decades after these slices of “noir” were cult classics in hip urban weeklies all over the west. Not just because of the lacerating and penetrating nature of the writing, but because of the perfect marriage of the content with format: an exciting new kind of eBook Adoro is pioneering.

“Flesh Wounds” was originally a weekly outburst the San Diego cultural review “Revolt In Style” and expanded (including the creation of Jessica Creager’s great artwork) for the Seattle “Scroll”. Much of the work in the eBook collection first appeared in the Seattle “Stranger”,San Diego “Reader”.SF Bay Area’s “East Bay Express”, and the Seattle music mag, “Voltage”.

A cult item at the time (Hunter Thompson first dubbed it “yuppie noir”, a name that stuck), “Flesh Wounds” was resurrected and an online, blog/RSS serial, but now appears in an exciting and innovative eBook format for any Windows computer, with a low price enabled by the magic of download.

This is dark stuff, set in prisons, asylums, bloody street corners, gruesome crime scenes. But there is a faint glow of redemption about it, the aspiration that keeps all of us elevated above the mess of flesh that lacerates us before it kill us.

Check it out on the FLESH WOUNDS BOOK PAGE, and don’t miss the ultra-cool video with music by Moderan.
