For the first issue of McSweeney's, in lieu of payment, Vollman asked Dave Eggers to give him two nude female models to body paint for one hour, and some special, hard-to-find bullets for his gun. He excepted no money.
13 Stories 13 Epitaphs is my favorite book of his, although The Rainbow Stories is epic too. Whores for Gloria is a quick read, and I enjoyed it, but it's hard for many people to stomach. The whole book is this guy paying girls to tell him stories and let him cut off parts of their hair, to bring him closer to this prostitute that he loves.
