Now shipping: BRIDE OF SLEAZE ALLEY by Peter Enfantino in FULL COLOR!

 

Cimarron Street Books is pleased to bring you the next volume of Peter Enfantino's Annotated Guide to Vintage Sleaze Paperbacks!

SLOPPY SECONDS . . .

. . . were never this tasty! Sleaze Alley has always been the place to come (!) for your entertainment needs, never moreso than now. With the price of vintage adult fiction skyrocketing on the secondhand market, one needs a guiding hand before dumping a C-note on a book that’s not worth opening. What’s your kink? Busty blonde militants with machine guns? We got that inside. Jazz Man in Nudetown? He’s on the bill. Nymphos? Lesbians? Psychopaths? Cross-dressers? We got boatloads of ‘em. Peter Enfantino takes you down into the sin basement for another heaping helping of naughtiness from publishers such as Gaslight, Nightstand, Monarch, Midwood, Sundown Reader, and lots more. Over 100 reviews — over half original to this volume — of forbidden work by such giants as Donald E. Westlake, Evan Hunter, Lawrence Block, Harry Whittington and Robert Silverberg. Full color covers and a nifty rating system help you determine just what’s worth your time and money when you venture down the . . .

. . . SLEAZE ALLEY!

The author refuses to be photographed without disguise. Adult fiction is not a genre to take lightly. There are risks. Peter Enfantino is sure the feds are following him (a guy who looked uncannily like J. Edgar came to the door the other night, supposedly selling aluminum siding); his family has received death threats (well, maybe not death, but the HOA called about the tree stump in the yard); and his house (literally) has bugs. When Enfantino is not drooling over his latest Greenleaf acquisition, he co-edits bare•bones and oversees the Sleaze Alley imprint. He is the author of The Manhunt Companion (Stark House Press), The Wild World of Two-Fisted Detective, Mystery and Terror Digests, The Wild World of Off Beat Detective, Crime and Sleaze Digests, and the forthcoming The Wild World of Guilty and Trapped. He lives in a sleaze alley in Gilbert, Arizona with a saucy broad named Paula.
