Scratch 'n' Sniff

The Last Prom: Eclectic Esoterica for a Better Tomorrow was started by filmmaker Ralph Coon to, as he describes it, “fuel my desire to discover the undiscovered. . . . There’s so many topics the ‘popular media’ doesn’t invest time in because the mentally bankrupt masses don’t care to learn about them. Well, FUCK THAT.” What really distinguishes Coon from the run-of-the-mill zinester is his nose for compelling subject matter both on the scary margins of the American psyche and from deep within it. — SS
