Hi, my name is Richard Alexander, though some people may know me as Mal Function.
This web site has a variety of items in it, including reviews I have done for a variety of publications, including Fortean Times, Freedom, Kate Sharpley Library Bulletin, Lobster and Total Liberty. Please note that not all of these have actually been published (so far!). I have also started to include reviews written by other people, and if you'd like to submit a book or magazine review I will happily consider it for publication.
I have also included some other writings I have done over the past few years and a few photographs of the area where I live.
There are also some links to web pages for various publications, people and other sites of interest.
If you navigate to the Contact page you'll find a way of reaching me by e-mail. There's also a page of photos I've taken of the village where I live. These are very compressed so should load quite quickly.
I'm having something of a clear-out, so you'll find a page of books and related items for sale here. I'll try and update it as (and if) any of the items get sold.
Please note that all items here written or co-written by myself or other people are copyright. They may be freely copied for non-commercial use, provided the copyright notice remains attached and the text is not altered without my permission. Commercial use of the files is forbidden without agreement as to payment. (Normally I will accept the usual wordage rate.)
As of October 2005 Counter Productions ceased trading. This was very unfortunate and so far I have not been able to source books or magazines from anyone else. I've kept the button on the menu as changing it causes a lot of grief in Front Page apparently.
I've also finally got round to doing some OCR'ing of classic texts. Nothing too long and you may find some elsewhere but I thought I'd put them on here too.
I hope you find something of interest here.
Enjoy
Richard.
