"...Supervert.com is not for the tourist pervert. It is not for the anti-intellectual, or the anti-aesthete. Perhaps that is what makes it a bit dangerous, a bit enticing, akin in a Cronenebergian kind of way to a chrome fender..."
Supervert's book Extraterrestrial Sex Fetish has its own reviews page where you can read reviews that appeared in the San Francisco Bay Guardian, the Absinthe Literary Review, Sex and Guts Magazine, the Science Fiction Chronicle, etc. The BLAM! CD-ROMs have their own reviews page. BLAM! was reviewed in a wild array of magazines, including Wired, New York Magazine, World Art, Mondo 2000, ID, the Village Voice, Frieze, etc.
"If you don't know it by now, you should... I adore Mr. Vert. We've exchanged a few emails (not to mention links) and he is just about the most fascinating — if not THE most fascinating — presence on the Internet today."
"The clean, precise layout of [Supervert's] website is the first hint you get that you're not fucking around with just any old pervert. There's no distracting flash, bouncing tits, fountaining cocks, or nuclear winter sales tactics. There is only their uncompromising vision stripped to its intimidating black and white essence. It's like you walked into a laboratory with sterile white walls and found all the scientists strapped into glistening black BDSM equipment, kinking it up and fucking each other with beakers of strange, bubbling chemicals... Two days ago, their books Extraterrestrial Sex Fetish and Necrophilia Variations arrived in my mailbox like an act of poetic terrorism. The online photographs do them a terrible injustice. These books are fucking sexy. They're beautiful little fetish objects... Like their website, every aspect of these books seems methodical and predetermined in a way that is usually reserved for getting away with murder."
"Rather than trying to shock you with a series of fictional short stories, the maintainer of this Web site has spent at least three years compiling actual news stories from newspapers and TV about men and women (and even a few kids) who've committed some of the sickest, most vile acts of sexual depravity that could be conceived. All of the stories on this site are true — allegedly — and this alone makes this site a stranger and more shocking site than many of those juvenile 'gross-out' sites that try to upset you by showing gory pictures from accident scenes."
"One-stop shopping for psychopathia sexualis!"
"For a website — or a self-proclaimed nom de plume — dedicated to perversity, sexual deviances, and general rants on fornication, necrophilia and whatnot, Supervert.com looks pretty demure to the undiscerning eye. At once a blog, a hub of four linked websites, a publishing house, an art critic and a collector of weird and wonderful sex stories from across the globe, the whole surfing experience of Supervert.com is a jewel for those who see sexuality as more than a pair of heaving boobs and a shaved torso." Books Featuring Supervert

Design theorist Rick Poynor describes BLAM!. "Defiantly low-tech and aggressively non-interactive, BLAM! shows what the technology can achieve in the hands of independent media artists with guerrilla sensibilities and a lack of preconceptions."
