True Rat: The Beast of Leroy Kettle

The collected funny writing of Leroy Kettle, whose fanzine True Rat (ten issues 1973-1978) was a high point of 1970s British science-fiction fan humour. Edited by Rob Hansen and first published as an Ansible Editions ebook for the TransAtlantic Fan Fund (TAFF) website on 1 January 2018. Cover photo of Roy Kettle in 1978 taken by Rob Hansen. Nearly 108,000 words. Every issue of True Rat is included, plus much more comic autobiography and articles, speeches and scurrilous gossip columns published elsewhere. Only a very few passages that seemed almost funny in the 1970s are here omitted to protect the guilty (Leroy Kettle). ALL PROCEEDS FROM SALE OF THIS PAPERBACK GO TO TAFF.
