160 Seiten Toxic Eye-Candy. Intoxicating, stimulating and just a little dangerous. Pictures like rainbows of color, black pictures, white pictures, bloodred pictures by Maurizio Cattelan, Wolfgang Sangmeister, Heiko Müller …

… Alfred Jansen, KD Matheson, Achim Kröpsch. Beautiul pictures. Shocking pictures. Never, never just wallpapers, just backing those essays, those polemic writings, those phrases like spikes, like needles, those brillant essays, those nasty essays. Take it all in: Meet the World’s loneliest bacteria, meet desperate Shanghai ghosts driven from their haunts, learn about Funeral Folk from Belgium, learn how they make coffins in Ghana, learn about the literary ambitions of the SS. Read about a micronation still issuing war bonds to support its war against East Germany. Never surrender. And see J.G. Ballard, Stevie Nix, Agnetha Fältskog, Boyd Rice in a very new light (not necessarily flattering). Grimm is that beautiful, beautiful thorn in your side, a fathomless wound, a book of blood, you will open again, again and again. And then you will want more …

Facts & Figures
Mission Statement: GRIMM blinds you, smothers you, strikes you with a beauty you learned to fear. The Hidden. The Forbidden. Of what lies beneath. The beauty of your darkest thoughts, splendor of your darkest hours. The veils of mercy torn. The rose clouds of convenient lies. Torn. See yourself, see you, Ugly, see you. Filth, see you, Spoiler, see you, for what you are. Those glossy pages are a mirror. See you and enjoy yourself in all the beauty of despair and remember faintly the womb-like ignorance before this bliss.
Founded: GRIMM was founded in late 2008 by Lars Brinkmann and insisted on by Jörg Nicolaus: just because you are in a bad mood doesn’t mean you’ve got to shut up.
