About this title

Review:

A long-overdue, exhaustively comprehensive documentation of the Cinema of Transgression. Massively illustrated with rare, sometimes hair-raising photographs...The book will appeal to casual toe-dippers and the hard-core cognoscenti. -- Skin Two

Deathtripping is the first fully comprehensive account of the New York underground film movement, its prehistory, development and key players....There isn't any more anyone need know about Transgression after this. Deathtripping is the first and the last word on the subject. -- Headpress
