Twilight of the Idols

Twilight of the Idols was a punk literary zine published between 1991 and 1993 in San Francisco CA. It ran for eight issues.

Issue #1: "A journal of dangerous and not so dangerous material for those seeking entertainment and diversion in the post-post modern era."

Issue #2: "The second installment in an on-going saga of yae- and nay-saying, trust and mistrust, light-hearted seriousness and revelations from the Abyss."

Issue #3: "Numero tres in our humble attempt to destroy the concepts of selfhood, ideology, egalitarianism, and whatever."

Issue #4: The fourth step in our quest for a chaos-induced, nitro-injected, pathological philosophy to counter the disfunctional responses of human passion towards post-modern society."

Issue #5: "For the fifth time we heroically venture into that unknown area between word and deed, thought and speech, meaning and nihilism, depth and inanity. Once again we attempt to eff the ineffable."

Issue #6: "Effort #6, in which we sincerely offer redress for all of our sins, offenses, transgressions, misdeeds and peccadillos, past, present and future – then regurgitate all over ourselves."

Issue #7: A cornucopia of war, riots, skin diseases, bombs and mercy."

Issue #8: "Enter here and experience a blitzkrieg-like onslaught of nihilistic absurdity, incarceration, satanism, V.D., and baldness."
