Underground journalist Ryan Bartek has just re-released the book, The Big Shiny Prison (Volume One), as a free PDF download. Featuring new cover art and a redesigned look, this new version finally does visual justice to the original.
The product of one year spent travelling the US underground, The Big Shiny Prison (Volume One) is a genre-bending work of non-fiction that is at once a road book and a journalistic expose on American counterculture as well.
In The Big Shiny Prison, Bartek makes it through 35 states, spends 600+ hours on Greyhounds while interviewing a variety of celebrities, musicians, journalists and travellers. Covering all forms of counterculture with a heavy emphasis on extreme metal and hardcore punk, The Big Shiny Prison refuses to become a stereotypical “music book.” It instead falls into the category of the autobiographical road novel using a relevant approach that appeals to both the average reader and the critical academia.
Originally released on 11/15/09, The Big Shiny Prison (Volume One) features interviews/appearances by DWARVES, BRUTAL TRUTH, PIG DESTROYER, MDC, REPULSION, PSYOPUS, CEPHALIC CARNAGE, DOWNTOWN BROWN, HIMSA, ATHEIST, FOXY SHAZAM, STALAGGH, ABYSMAL DAWN, LUDICRA, THE ANGELIC PROCESS, AXCX and many more.
