18th January 2009
Many thanks to those collectors out there who have been snapping up some of our early editions. A few of our early publications are now out of print. Rest assured we will not reprint books solely to meet demand. An edition is an edition, this is important to us. Any second editions (there are no plans yet) would have to be markedly different from the originals. Just thought we’d let you know.

Here is an interview Zack did with the Sheffield Star. We are waiting for approaches from Mayhem's lawyers. 'Lescar Volume One' available from the shop.

Also an apology to anyone who may not be able to view all of the website, particularly some items in the shop. We've been trying to get to the bottom of it for a while now. It seems the problem is with certain browsers (Firefox in particular). I've had cock all help from the web hosting tossers, but will continue to try to find a solution. Email if you're having problems finding things or if you can help!

'Lescar Volume One' by Zack Wilson

Is now available from the shop.

Here's Zack talking about the book in a recent interview at 'EPIC RITES'.

'Lescar' is a collection of stories set in a real Sheffield pub called The Lescar Hotel in around 2004. The charcaters are fictional, but the setting is real enough and so is most of what they do. I used to drink enthusiastically in that place and genuinely loved it and wanted to evoke something of what it was like. I mean, I wasn't fantastically happy at the time or anything (I was actually completely pissed most of the time) but it was an important little period in my life spent with some people who really were losers and dregs and yet were absolutely brilliant human beings on a different level.
Stuff like the football hoolganism and the drugs was just part of what was going on, both in the Lescar and in my life. Not that I was ever a 'hooligan' myself, I was a bit of a 'casual' and got into the clothes and the lifestyle a bit, but scrapping at the match was never really my thing. You'll have to look elsewhere for a definition of the term 'casual', but there's enough places to look. The project isn't finished yet. More Lescar stories will appear over the next few years. I want to explore some of the female charcaters a little more. Maybe I'll do 'Lescar Women' or summat.

Buy it here it is very good!
