A COLLAGE NOVEL FOR THE AGES

When a tsunami of smut floods the city of London, the Anti-Smut Brigade is at sixes and sevens. Scotland Yard yanks Sir Reginald Fuzz out of retirement, for he  is their last best hope of saving the Empire.

Can the foremost moralist, expert on the perils of porno, and ex-chief of the Anti-Smut Brigade (par excellence),  stem the tide of this degenerate invasion?  

Or… will Great Britain go to hell in a handbasket like the Roman Empire? 

Time is running out.  Big Ben is ticking . . .


ADVANCE PRAISE FOR FUZZ AGAINST SMUT

“Time Trip Incarnate! I thought my fingers (and brain) would explode—this classic Infernal Machine is reignited!… Magnificent!”
—Nile Southern, author of The Candy Men: The Rollicking Life and Times of the Notorious Novel Candy

Fuzz Against Smut reanimates what has become an endangered subspecies of comedy: madcap, manic, wildly absurd, sublimely subversive humor. (As exemplified by – among others – the Marx Brothers, Lenny Bruce, William Burroughs, Terry Southern, Lord Buckley, and Akbar del Piombo.) This is a zany, quirky and very funny book, an antic fable for our fractured times and a balm for weary minds.”  —Gregory Stephenson, author of Alias Akbar del Piombo

“In 100 years, hipsters will take college classes on Terry Southern, Roland Topor, and Derek Pell. This book will be required reading. Playing the long game, Pastormerlo and Pell’s masterstroke does for smut what Trump did for infectious diseases.”  —Paul Rosheim

“The original ‘Fuzz Against Junk’ text was funny and its images were engaging; this takeoff is even funnier, and more deeply and intricately illustrated. A topnotch homage.”  – M. Kasper

“FUZZ is a wonderland of literary confusions that will enrich your soul.” —Doug Rice

“A fun read.” —John Coulthart
