Product Description

ANSWER Me! is a big black slab of trouble. Originally released as a series of magazines, then a collected edition which sold thousands before going out of print, ANSWER Me! has been blamed for a White House shooting and a triple suicide. It has been banned in several countries and put on trial for obscenity in the USA. Chock full of well-written rants, interviews, and articles on topics ranging from music and subcultures to sex, love, hate, murder, serial killers, and suicide, this fat, gorgeous anthology contains the legendary rant-zine’s first three issues in their entirety. It also contains sixty new pages of wistful ANSWER Me! memories and tasty new articles written by philanthropist and humanitarian Jim Goad. There’s a strong chance that this is the best book ever published. Only an idiot would refuse to buy it.

ANSWER Me! was so wonderful because it reminded me of when my uncle Joey turned me on to National Lampoon when I was eight years old. After National Lampoon I was always looking for uglier forms of humor, and then comes along ANSWER Me! -- Shaun Partridge, Partridge Family Temple

ANSWER Me! is a nasty little book ... more than worth its cover price for the jaw dropping serial killer and suicide guides. -- debased.com

Customer Reviews

I looove the Goads!!!
Ohhh yeah!! I love the Goads, and I love this book! Evil, vile, full of ranting vitriole, what more could a gal want to warm the cockles of her cold, hard lil' heart? Wow, this book rocks. I'd laid hands on several copies over the years, but had never found one of my own until just recently, and even tho' I knew its innards by heart, I still hadda' get a copy of my own to love...

Really, this ranting, raving supertract is a work of art. Bile, blood, anger, and well aimed barbs about society, the system, and basically, everybody that isn't a Goad, are all strongly backed up by charmingly psychotic artwork. One can tell that each missive was lovingly honed into a rusty, bent and dulled edge before being gently dipped into battery acid and poison tree frog juice, and then blow-darted onto its gingerly selected, filth-covered page. And the best part of all? They did this ALL FOR YOU! The Goads gift to mankind is hypnotically ugly, and vastly, horribly entertaining. Getchyer' own copy today!!!

If You Offend Easily Then This is Not The Book For You...
This book is not those who are offended easily. But if you have a dark sense of humor and are fascinated by all that is evil or corrupt, then this book may be right up your ally. My favorite part is the in depth A thru Z profiles on Serial Killers.
To know if this book is right for you you may want to look into some of Jim Goads writings and see what you think. I personally think hes a genius but I'm sure not all would not agree...

Answer Me! The First Three
An incisive book of hate liberally spiced with unarguable insight and viciously accurate, in-your-face detail. There are some gems in this work by two passionate and driven writers.
