Commentary

Praise for the SF Punk Trio

“Captures the unique, bitter pathos—and dark comedy—of a vanished world: Bay Area youth culture at the dawn of the Reagan era.”

-Andrew O’Hehir, Executive Editor, SALON.COM

“A slamming séance summoning early Eighties San Francisco, a never-never land of mosh pits, thrift shopping, divorced dads, police raids, and white punks on dope.”

-Grady Hendrix, Author of MY BEST FRIEND’S EXORCISM

“SO GOOD IT’S BAD is absolutely electrifying. Stadtman cranks up the suspense he created so skillfully in Please Don’t Be Waiting for Me, but this time he latches on and doesn’t let up for 250 pages.”

-Ed Glaser, NEON HARBOR

“Gritty and engaging.”

-Nancy Davis Kho, MIDLIFE MIXTAPE

“Captures the fun, desperation, grime, confusion, and joy of being a teen punk weirdo.”

-Keith Allison, TELEPORT CITY
