New Years Eve and the BSC isn’t taking the day off! We represent to the end! Today we have an exclusive excerpt from Milk, Sulphate, and Alby Starvation by Martin Millar being republished by Soft Skull Press in early 2009!

I’m pretty easy. All you have to do is have a line like “I like comics, especially Conan and Spiderman.” and I’m at least down for 50 more pages! Then the dude mentions the Surfer, and I’m the type of guy who automatically anointed Crimson Tide a classic just because of such a mention!

Millar, writing under “Martin Scott” won the World Fantasy Award for best novel in 2000.

Synopsis:

A re-issue of Martin Millar’s classic novel which recounts the life of Alby Starvation, the first true British anti-hero of the giro generation. A strange and wonderful story of Brixton low-life, seedy gutter violence and manic paranoia that’s as relevant now as when first published in the 1980s.

BSC would like to thank Soft Skull Press and Martin Millar for allowing us to present the following excerpt at our venue!
