An American Demon

“Jack Grisham is a legend to those in the know. Much of the success of punk rock was built on the blood, sweat, and tears of this surf punk, Southern California mad man. After such a compelling read, it’s so nice to see him break on through to the other side … some weren’t so lucky …” — Mark McGrath, singer“Unnervingly brilliant, compulsive reading for those of us that are glad it’s all over.” — Rat Scabies, musician and former drummer of punk band the Damned“Sociopathic art in its rawest form, as wickedly relayed through the eyes of a surfer demon. American Demon is a punk rock parable written by a bedlamite, whose immoral compass is cranked up to 11.” — Heidi Siegmund Cuda, author of Sublime’s Brad Nowell: Crazy Fool, Vans Warped, and Got Your Back“If you’ve ever found yourself unable to turn away from witnessing an accident, crash or natural disaster, you’ll read American Demon straight through, like I did. Jack Grisham’s memoir is as original as it is horrifying. I couldn’t put it down.” — James Frey, bestselling author of A Million Little Pieces and Bright Shiny Morning“Jack Grisham finally, irrevocably, puts to death the slander that the early Los Angeles punk scene was ‘plastic.’ The first true literature to come out of our pathetic little punk lives, American Demon is haunting and awakens monsters. But it should come with a warning label: it’s a dangerous little book. Read Patti Smith’s Just Kids. Then read this. But only if you have the courage to follow poetry as far as it can go.” — Paul Roessler, producer, composer, musician
