"Out of the Gutter is not just some punk zine ... This filth is well-executed, tightly edited and focused on story construction."

—The UT Daily Texan

"GUTTER is the bastard child of Blue Murder . . . it's profane, lewd, violent, and frequently funny. Despite its low-rent origins, it's also a nice looking package."

—Crimespot.net

"Matthew Louis has thrown down the gauntlet, set a new standard for unflinching, deliciously dirty, exploitative tough-ass fiction."

—Victor Gischler, Edgar-nominated author of Gun Monkeys, Suicide Squeeze and Shotgun Opera

“While it’s great to see indie guys taking a chance on such a project, it’s even greater to see that project work. The boys residing in THE GUTTER are to be commended for pulling it off ... Buy one, read it in public, raise eyebrows and be proud.”

—Bookgasm.com

"[Out of the Gutter is] even a little harder than Thuglit.com. Stories are nicely separated into sections of 10-minute and 20-minute reads. I keep Issue One in the bathroom and Issue Two in the livingroom. Highly entertaining for those with a strong stomach. Very well written."

—Jason Thibault, founding editor of Optimum Wound Comics

"Really, if you have any interest in all things loathsome, vile, scandalous, vulgar and grotesque, OUT OF THE GUTTER is for you. This is a truly repulsive publication that you can happily cram at the back of your underwear drawer to hide from your parent or spouse ... Disgusting and without socially redeeming qualities, it’s the herpes-ridden juvenile delinquent of all periodicals."

—Charlie Huston, author of The Shotgun Rule

“The work in the pages of OOTG is not for the weak at heart. It's gritty, non-compromising writing and just about every story is a compelling and sometimes disturbing read. It's an impressive feat being that some of the stories are only a couple of pages long at the most. In many ways even the flash fiction, which barely clocks in at two pages per story, is some pretty entertaining pulp reading. Which, again, says a lot to the quality of OUT OF THE GUTTER. Whether it's a two page missive or a twenty page short the writers of this collection really deliver the goods. It's full of tales of humanity gone wrong at its best and it's entertaining as all get out.”
