The Bad Seed. By Dee Rimbaud. If you are tired of dry, academic, pseudo-intellectual poetry and want to read something that is real, heart-felt, gut-felt, vibrant, challenging & iconoclastic, then this is the collection for you. Get your check book out and send a cheque for £6.95 payable to DEE RIMBAUD, Acid Angel, 35 Falkland Street (GFL), Glasgow, G12 9QZ, Scotland. (or US $20) The first person to respond to this will get a copy of Acid Angel #2 thrown in for free. NB: All money raised through this goes into the Acid Angel Magazine production fund.

Hello,

I am the author of the Mascara Sluts, a web mag devoted to alternative music, comedy and films. The site contains interviews I have done with Kula Shaker + Norman Lovett (Holly from British sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf), reviews of Garbage, Depeche Mode, Mansun, Harry Hill, Chris Barrie (Red Dwarf) and many more. It also has film reviews, such as The Exorcist, eXistenZ, Scream2 and more.

I would be grateful if you could help me publicise the site on your mailing list (+ by any other means!). The address is
