STRANGER WITH FRICTION

Published four times a year, Stranger With Friction is a magazine that reaches outside of St Rooster Books’ publishing orbit to artists, writers and musicians who we admire and/or are inspired by. It encompasses outsider literature, punk rock, and horror movies which have informed St Rooster Books’ mission statement from the start. Featuring essays and reviews, interviews, fiction and poetry, and artwork, Stranger With Friction is printed as an oversized, perfect bound book-zine through a print-on-demand service and available to e-readers. St Rooster Books seeks to create a unique reading experience by mixing an eclectic group of writers and artists in an entertaining and collectible riot of a combination of Slash Magazine, Rue Morgue, and the Evergreen Review.Issue One features;editor/BORN IN THE WINTERWAXWORK RECORDS’ TOP FIVE RELEASES BY MARK PIDGEONARTIST SPOTLIGHT/AN INTERVIEW WITH DIRECTOR IZZY LEEfiction/WHAT IS LEFT BY PAUL LUBACZEWSKIMUSIC IN HORROR: RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD BY CHRIS CAVORETTOfiction/CRAMPS BY LAMONT A TURNERTEXAS IS THE REASON: LOOKING BACK AT THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACREAMERICAN JESUS 2020 BY ERIK STEWARTfiction/NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH BY CARTER JOHNSONNOW LET US PRAISE NOISE; CLASSIC LURCHING DEATH OF 1984poetry/ERIK STEWARTPUBLISHER SPOTLIGHT: WEIRDPUNK BOOKSMY HEROES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MONSTERS: CABAL and NIGHTBREEDfiction/MACHO INSECURITY BY JEREMY LOWEpoetry/MARCELLINE BLOCK
