"In the mid-1980s, Editions Fleuve Noir launched the
famous GORE Collection, bloody and ill-mannered extension of the non
less famous ANGUISH Collection…
For five years, from April 1985 to July 1990, dozens of volumes
came to line up shamelessly on the shelves of our supermarkets and
counters of our newsstands. A brilliantly designed logo,
bloody covers for 118 station novels full of
raw flesh and unimaginable suffering… 118 signed stories
by great and more modest French popular authors or
Anglo-Saxons. 118 totally screwed-up little stories, happily breaking
all proprieties. Which are now the subject of a real
cult to those who, at the time, were teenagers and haunted
video clubs springing up everywhere… Because the GORE Collection,
it's the literary equivalent of the horror B-movies that cluttered
our VCRs.
Unmissable testimony to a blessed decade, project again
controversial these days, the GORE Collection remains an experiment
unique editorial, which therefore well deserved that we stop there. This
Dissection, released in 2014 and untraceable for years, returns
today in a revised and expanded edition, updated, with
several interviews and exclusive articles. In short, THE definitive book
on a legendary collection."
