About UA

Underworld Amusements is the work of Kevin I. Slaughter, and reflects his obsessions, fascinations, and fetishes. Primarily involved in book publishing, Underworld Amusements produces and disseminates objects celebrateing both human accomplishment in human degeneracy, it is mediocrity that is shun.

Kevin I. Slaughter is a vulgarian and elitist, half son of the South, half child of Mother England. He owns the 3rd largest private collection of vintage Super 8mm porn on the East Coast, plus an extensive library of adult paperbacks. Other than smut, his bookshelves are littered with titles by authors with names such as: Ardrey, Batille, Buchanan, Burroughs (E.R.), Crisp, Dahl, Darwin, Dixon, Friedman, Fussell, Galton, Gilmore (J & P.H.), Goad, Goffman, Gresham, Hammett, Hecht, Hitchens, Hoffer, Home, Huysmans, LaVey, LeBon, Legman, London, Lovecraft, Ludovici, Malebranche, Mishima, Moynihan, Nietzsche, Parfrey, Petros, Pinker, Putnam, Rand, Reich, Rockwell, Rushton, Sante, Shermer, Sotos, Southern, Spengler, Spillane, Stirner, Thompson, Tully, Twain, Waters, and Willeford.

He admires the outsider genius, the architects of their own worlds–opinions be damned. He is uncomfortable with  false dichotomies, understands that however rational he tries to be, his consciousness is controlled in part by genetically borne biases and his understanding of the world is skewed by the poor construction of biology that nature has evolved. Either way, he still thinks he’s right and you’re probably wrong.
