Book Overview

A young woman discovers that dancers at a local discotheque are being driven to acts of insane violence.

"The place was full of swarming, pugnacious, dangerous missellneous reptile's... Teenager's everywhere pounded their way on top of each other crazily strangling, biting and slashing each other's with broken glass, smashed records or sharpened blades... "

16-year-old Jennifer Gibbons (1963-1993) wrote Discomania in 1980, alongside her twin sister June-Alison, who was also writing her own novel, The Pepsi Cola Addict, in the bedroom that they shared.

Jennifer offered Discomania to the same English vanity press who would publish June-Alison's book, but Discomania was turned down for being "too violent, too sexual, and too futuristic."

Long thought to have been lost or destroyed, June-Alison had in fact preserved the typescript of this unique, furious, funny, and strange novel, which we present with her blessing, alongside additional texts from June-Alison, and editors David Tibet and Ania Goszczyńska.
