Description
Discomania
The place was full of swarming, pugnacious, dangerous missellneous reptile’s… Teenager’s everywhere pounded their way on top of each other crazily strangling, biting and slashing each other’s with broken glass, smashed records or sharpened blades…
16-year-old Jennifer Gibbons (1963–1993) wrote Discomania in 1980, alongside her twin sister June-Alison, who was writing her own novel, The Pepsi-Cola Addict (published by SAP in 2023), in the bedroom that they shared.
Jennifer offered Discomania to the same English vanity press who would publish June-Alison’s book, but Discomania was turned down for being “too violent, too sexual, and
too futuristic.”
Long thought to have been lost or destroyed, June-Alison had in fact preserved the typescript of this unique, furious, funny, and strange novel, which we present with Jennifer’s and June-Alison’s blessings.
With an afterword by David Tibet and Ania Goszczyńska.
The hardback limited edition is printed on archive quality paper, with coloured edges and debossed boards. All hardback copies come with a bookplate signed by Jennifer and June Alison Gibbons, a risograph print by Error Press and a button badge.
