Art That Kills examines the point where art meets crime. The book documents a diabolical era - 1984-2001. It chronicles the evolution of a new aesthetic movement, a terrifying fringe of underground art where enlightenment and depravity combined. Murder, rape, torture, perversion, cannibalism, drugs, sedition, racism and blasphemy mixed with literature, history, politics, news, movies, TV, punk rock, philosophy and science. The book profiles a pantheon of dissidents and deviants, relives their crimes and attempts to analyse an elusive era.
