Sheer Filth is a 2014 book, published by FAB Press and edited by David Flint. It is a ‘remixed and remastered’ version of the original Sheer Filth fanzine that was published between 1987 and 1990.
Sheer Filth specialised in coverage of exploitation and cult cinema, vintage erotica, extreme music and pulp fiction. The book edition is a 240 page collection that includes the bulk of the original content, plus several additional pieces by Flint that were either published elsewhere or had never been seen in print before.
The book was made available in three editions: the standard softcover, a 150 limited edition hardcover and an ultra limited Collector’s Edition of just 34, which includes both the hardcover and softcover, together with an original copy of the fanzine, contained within a brown paper bag. This edition sold out within a few hours of going on sale.
The book was published on April 9th 2014.
