Pulp Faction: Chopper 5

Book excerpt: 'My publishers contacted me roughly five minutes before publication and requested one more short story, so I sat down and pondered writing a short murder mystery called "Death of a Publisher – by Slow Strangulation".' Mark Brandon 'Chopper' Read is Australia's bestselling ex-convict. The standover man and self-confessed killer is Australia's only celebrity gangster and has spent most of his adult life in jail. Shot, stabbed, betrayed and minus a pair of ears; Chopper's tale of the Australian criminal underworld continues in Pulp Faction. The fifth volume of Chopper's memoirs contains a series of short stories. These shorts are raw, tough and funny, with a breathtaking ring of authenticity that could only have been written by a man who has lived these experiences. Featuring the classic stories 'Revenge of the Rabbit Kisser', 'The Shoe Shop Men' and 'Message in a Bottle', Pulp Faction will have you wondering what's true and what's not.
