What with booze and weed, ‘The
Crackers’ soon were rolling in the aisles of degradation. Blissfully partaking
of nature’s habit-forming aphrodisiac, the mob needed no verbal communication
in order to manifest their base lusts. It was Satanism at its worst - the
worship of the flesh in all its glorious climaxes.
Tom lay on his back, flesh coated
with perspiration. Sybil straddled him, her eyes pleading. ‘Please, Tom ...
once more!’ His eyes rolled, his lungs hurt as
he tried to gulp air. It was an affront to his vanity that Carole, and now
Sybil, had both seen fit to mount him. The man should be the aggressor! He felt sore,
ineffectual, depleted.
"Blimey. Only 110 pages and still it requires considerable fortitude on
the part of the reader to see this one through. As mentioned before, the
casual racism of these books is pretty damned hard to read around, and
the gang-rape of a Jewish woman doesn't make this an easy book to like. The first
seventy-five pages are devoted to the misadventures of The Crackers, a
teeny gang from privileged backgrounds who follow Arsenal F. C. When they're not bashing
men and molesting women, the gang devote their free time to drinking
Haig in their clubhouse and a variety of pubs on Hampstead Heath. There's
a power-struggle between head Cracker, Tom Walsh and his would-be
usurper, Benjy, and their attempts to sort out who's the hardest become
increasingly desperate. Just as things are getting a bit monotonous, Tom
remembers that he's been interested in Aleister Crowley for years and
decides that Black Magic is the answer to all the Crackers' problems,
otherwise they're just a bunch of skinheads with hair. It does get a little livelier as the boys dig
up a corpse, orgy in the grave, desecrate the church and chant weird
spells. But then you realise that all the violence has done awful things
to Tom's brain because he's having an instant breakdown, and Allen
seems keen to wrap everything up and churn out the next one." - Demonik.
