Star Distributors began publishing in the early 1970s with a colorful array of book lines.   The subject matter tended to be more hard-edged than the more socially-acceptable subject matter of wife-swapping or nymphomania.   The world of the Star books was decidely more taboo, hitting hard on the recurring themes of sex between the young and the old, incest and the dark power play of rape and brutality.   The Supreme Court decisions of the late 60s freed up the book business to explore these subjects without running afoul of any laws, and to this day, while the subject matter explored in many of these books is highly charged, because they are works of the imagination, of descriptive literature, as opposed to photographic depiction, they were and are legal to buy, sell, and possess.   

"Satan Press" were one of Star Distributors's early book lines issued in response to the relaxing of censorship laws in the late 60s.  Originally, the books appeared with cut-out devil's heads on the covers and many were written by the prolific Paul Hugo Little.  Mid-way through the series, the basic cover graphic became a solid cover with the devil's head outline and a photograph or illustration inside -- with the added bonus of several interior illustrations as well.  Paul Little continued to write for the series and artists as varied as Eric Stanton and Di Mulatto did the illustration work.   These gritty gems showcase some outrageously sleazy cover design.

Be sure to cross-check the "Writers" and "Artists" and "Themes" areas also!  

New books will be added as they become available.
