POP THE CLUTCH: THRILLING TALES OF ROCKABILLY,
MONSTERS, AND HOT ROD HORROR
Welcome to the cool side of the 1950s, where the fast cars and revved-up movie monsters peel out in the night. Where outlaw vixens and jukebox tramps square off with razorblades and lead pipes. Where rockers rock, cool cats strut, and hot rods roar. Where you howl to the moon as the tiki drums pound and the electric guitar shrieks and that spit-and-holler jamboree ain’t gonna stop for a long, long time . . . maybe never.
This is the ’50s where ghost shows still travel the back roads of the south, and rockabilly has a hold on the nation’s youth; where lucky hearts tell the tale, and maybe that fella in the Shriners’ fez ain’t so square after all. Where exist noir detectives of the supernatural, tattoo artists of another kind, Hollywood fix-it men, and a punk kid with grasshopper arms under his chain-studded jacket and an icy stare on his face.
This is the ’50s of Pop the Clutch: Thrilling Tales of Rockabilly, Monsters, and Hot Rod Horror. This is your ticket to the dark side of American kitsch . . . the fun and frightful side!
• In “Tremble,” an aged rockabilly musician tells what happened the night his band of high school friends returned to play a concert in the home town where they'd been bullied as teens.
• In “Hot Babe,” a mean-streaked race car driver feuds with another driver both on and off the track, over racing and over a mysterious beautiful woman who knows no limits.
• In “The Demon of the Track,” Korea War’s first Black ace jet fighter pilot returns home, post-war, to build the ultimate hot rod, until his efforts are sidelined by a beautiful (and thirsty) Aztec vampire.
. . . and more!
