The Ghastly One. One of the several books I need to finish. The bizarre world of Andy Milligan…he worked during an amazing time in New York, when all the grindhouses were in full operation, making movie after movie that mostly only denizens of 42nd Street would ever see.
HOUSE OF 7 SINS - Andrew Shaw
Great graphic cover on this one. Nightstand Books, 1961. “Satan’s Hotel!”
PSYCHO SIN - Julie Rowe
PEC Books, 1965. From the back cover: “Kirk showed Susan that a diving board had many uses!” Guess I gotta read the book to figure out what that means.
ED WOOD’S PRISON PASSION.
Pendulum Pictorial Reader, 1968. Released under one of Eddie’s numerous pseudonym’s (Harmon Wold,. Jr.), this trashy pulp features 80 photographs of softcore sex and bloody violence. It ends with a girl literally being ripped in half and dragged away by a car, though it is very apparent that it’s just the bottom half of a department store mannequin.
BEDTIME STORIES, 1958

PASSION HANGOVER. J.X. Williams for Leisure Books, 1965
From back cover: ” A paradise of wealth and mink-lined ecstasy.”
SAVE THEM FOR VIOLENCE. Monarch Books, 1959
A particularly sleazy cover on this one.
SOPHOMORE DROPOUT. Wilma Martinez cover.
I designed this cover for an art show I did a few years ago.
SIN SEMESTER. Hi-Hat Books, 1964
This is probably one of the more offensive covers in my collection of vintage smut. WHY did I get rid of my copy of Acapulco Sex Murders, which I even read. I think I felt guilty for owning such a piece of filth, but now I want it back.
HANG TEN HONEY, 1977
This book has exceptionally good cover art for this date. Usually smut that came out this late in the game had crap art or used photography. It was probably recycled from another book released earlier.
