Abstract
A gothic horror tale of severe mental distress and punk rock, The Primal Screamer is written in the form of a diary kept by a psychiatrist, Dr. Rodney H. Dweller, concerning his patient, Nathaniel Snoxell, brought to him in 1979 after a series of attempted suicides. Snoxell gets involved in the nascent UK anarcho-punk scene, recording and playing gigs in squatted anarchist centres. In 1985, the good doctor himself 'goes insane' and disappears.This semi-autobiographical novel by singer, guitarist, lyricist and illustrator Nick Blinko features his unique artwork.
