?An American Demon is Jack Grisham's story of depravity and
redemption, terror and spiritual deliverance. While Grisham is best
known as the raucous and provocative front man of the pioneer
hardcore punk band TSOL (True Sounds of Liberty), his writing and
true life experiences are physically and psychologically more
complex, unsettling, and violent than those of Bret Easton Ellis
and Chuck Palahniuk. Eloquently disregarding the prefabricated
formulas of the drunk-to-sober, bad-to-good tale, this is an
entirely new kind of life lesson: summoned through both God and
demons, while settling within eighties hardcore punk culture and
its radical-to-the-core (and most assuredly non-evangelical)
parables, Grisham leads us, cleverly, gorgeously, between temporal
violence and bigger-picture spirituality toward something very much
like a path to salvation and enlightenment. An American Demon
flourishes on both extremes, as a scary hardcore punk memoir and as
a valuable message to souls navigating through an overly
materialistic and woefully self-absorbed "me first" modern society.
An American Demon conveys anger and truth within the perfect
setting, using a youth rebellion that changed the world to open
doors for this level of brash destruction. Told from the point of
view of a seminal member of the American Punk movement -- doused in
violence, rebellion, alcoholism, drug abuse, and ending with
beautiful lessons of sobriety and absolution -- this book is as
harrowing and life-affirming as anything you're ever going to read.
