Revolution Calling

"If you ever wanted a novel that mapped Stranger Things favorite Eddie Munson's inner life, this is it. Die posers!" -Justin Norton, Decibel magazine "A story of everyday heavy metal folk, and how their everyday pain is real." -Joel McIver, author of To Live is to Die: The Life & Death of Metallica's Cliff Burton Every generation faces inevitable trials in the great proving ground of high school. The polarizing definition of cool from a teenager's world sets its own parameters, often hotly contested amongst a school body's diverse subdivisions. Revolution Calling, from veteran music and film journalist Ray Van Horn, Jr. is a retrospective look at high school as he knew it from the alienating stance of heavy metal subculture in the late 1980s. As a semi autobiography, Revolution Calling is an Outsiders tale for Generation X, an examination of the will to belong on one's own terms, even when the stakes turn violent. This is a story of inner and outer turmoil where persecution leads to comeuppance. The path to acceptance in one's life often takes turbulent paths. For Jason Hamlin and Rob Martino, this is a call-to-arms for their own self-worth and moreover, their self-preservation.
