What is Pure #1 1 about?

Chicago-born Peter Sotos self-produced and self-published a zine entitled "Pure" in the mid-80s. The zine focused on serial killers, violent crimes, and instances of child rape and murder. "Pure" was mainly comprised of articles praising the perpetrators of such crimes, written by Sotos, as well as photocopied newspaper clippings and images from porn magazines. The Incident: Sotos had been under surveillance by Chicago police for about nine months when his apartment was raided in 1986. Police recovered mainly books and magazines; among them, however, was a child pornography magazine entitled "Incest #4," which apparently included descriptions of a grown man's sexual experiences with a 14-year-old girl. Sotos was thus arrested on charges of obscenity and possession of child pornography. The obscenity charges were dropped soon thereafter, but Sotos pled guilty to the possession charge. Results of Incident: Sotos has gone on to write numerous books (published by the British independent publishing house, Creation Books) on topics similar to those included in "Pure." He is one of the most notorious figures in the underground world of the zine, and is the "foremost literary brutalist." H
