Reviews

Factsheet Five

  Angel of Death #1

  Here's another one for all you budding psychopaths out there. It's got hundreds of clippings on nasty ways to die, torture, notes on poisoning people, innovative and dangerous pranks,
  necrophilia, autopsy pictures, and lots more. Positively death worshiping. Not for the easily offended or disgusted.

  Angel of Death #2

  A zine that looks into death with evident pleasure. Lots of reprints from surgical manuals, to explosive directions, to news stories involving deaths. A spirit of complete sociopathy
  seems to pervade the whole thing. If nothing here is new to you, you've led a less sheltered life than me.

  Angel of Death #1

  Lots of information available here. Besides the photos of victims of murder/ accident/ fire/ VD victims there are instructions on building your own flamethrowers and claymore mines,
  recipes for napalm and molotov cocktails, lists of little known but legal things to get high on, and much more. There's plenty of poetry and art work too.  Amid all the chaos and
  violence; DOOM takes a stand against rape and animal research. Other highlights include spells to cast against your enemies, proper etiquette for graverobbing and some of the most
  disgusting recipes I ever read including fish sperm crepes, steamed cat and chicken, and the yummy yummy sun-dried fly larvae. Like the editor says "prejudice sucks, mental illness
  rules. Definitely worth checking out.
