MAN’S WORLD ISSUE 8
“Hello, my little hobbit friends” H ello, my little hobbit friends. Pull up a seat. Welcome back to DARK ELF'S WORLD. In the spirit of openness and transparency exemplified by the FBI's release of the Mar-a-Lago affidavit, here's what's in store for you in Issue Eight. Ahem. As I was saying: welcome back, my friend. Welcome to MAN’S WORLD Issue Seven! What a wonderful cover, don’t you think? A work of art. My good friend MIRUMNI did that. He did the covers for my paperback books and he’s currently whipping up some incredible MAN’S WORLD and raw egg nationalism t-shirts. They should be out soon. Watch this space. A lot’s happened since the last issue dropped. Some good, some bad. The Tucker “testicle tanning” controversy (hence the cover). I’m reliably informed that the documentary, The End of Men, which I feature in, will be releasing within the next month. That’s very good. Roe v. Wade. That’s very good too. Uvalde, Ukraine, spiralling inflation and food shortages. Not so good. Life continues to serve us shit sandwiches. So it goes. Another good thing: I finished writing my new book, The Eggs Benedict Option, which will be coming out very soon. To that end, I’ve written an opinion piece outlining the premise of the book – the World Economic Forum’s plan to transform @babygravy9 “ A lot’s happened since the last issue dropped ” the way we eat, and the way we live, for the worse – and my response to that plan, the eponymous Eggs Benedict Option. This is just one of the opinion pieces we’ve got this issue, which include stellar contributions from EVELYN RAE and my fellow Anglo JACK HADFIELD. What else? BRONZE AGE PERVERT returns. We have an amazing comic from ROBOT. A stunning short story about a whale-bone carver by PO HUIXOTE, “The Scrimshander”. And two more fantastic pieces of short fiction too, as well as the continuing serialisation of THE 39 STEPS. We have art: a feature on the surreal, sepulchral art of Zachary Brown; five wonderful illustrations by GRAMAN FOCWALD (@gramanhfocwald on Twitter), which appear dotted throughout the magazine; and five glorious physical studies by MATTHEW THE STOAT. We have interviews: SAM FINLAY, author of Breakfast with the Dirt Cult, interviews cult icon JAMES LA FOND and his friend and collaborator LYNNE LOCKHART; and NOOR BIN LADIN returns for another Conversation, this time with the equally lovely AMANDA MILIUS. We have motoring, poetry, a book review, wonderful essays on manual labour and vitalist philosophy. The legendary King Arthur. How to interpret bloodwork. Fitness and food. And Wonderful stuff, eh?
