Mike Sager took the stuff of the tabloids and turned it into some of the most widely read and admired magazine journalism of the past two decades. From his landmark story, The Devil and John Holmes to his Rick James epic, The Rise and Fall of a Super Freak, this award-winning journalist brings another swath of the dark side of American life into tight, sophisticated focus with his second collection. From an intimate glimpse of Roseanne Barr's multiple personality disorder or middle-American swingers in the orgy room, to hanging out on the road and at home with death metal gods ("Fact: Five Out of Five Kids Who Kill Love Slayer"), the anthropology of being a beautiful woman in Hollywood or being trapped, upside down in your car, with potentially mortal wounds for fifty-six hours (and what you have to cut off to get out), Sager is the anthropologist of places we can only imagine, and would rather not visit, except in the company of the writer Walt Harrington called "the beal poet of American journalism."Sager, Mike is the author of 'Revenge of the Donut Boys True Stories of Lust, Fame, Survival, and Multiple Personalities', published 2007 under ISBN 9781568583501 and ISBN 1568583508.
