📝 Description: Boot Boys of the Wolf Reich

David Agranoff presents a punk horror narrative set in the summer of 1989. Paul moves to the big city to finish high school and befriends local skinheads and punks. They spend their days hanging out and their nights fighting neo-Nazi gangs. When driven back and beaten, the Nazi contingent finds an unlikely ally. This is the last survivor of a cult of Nazi werewolf assassins. The old monster is a war criminal on the run who dreams of starting a Fourth Reich in America. He needs an army of neo-Nazi werewolves to achieve this goal. His first target involves payback against local Anti-racist SHARPs. Agranoff, known for The Vegan Revolution...with Zombies, delivers another punk horror epic. The story covers growing up, black magic, and kicking Nazi-werewolf ass. It draws on the traditions of supernatural fiction and gothic horror. The plot relies on the clash between punk subculture and neo-Nazi ideology. This book suits readers who enjoy gritty urban fantasy with a political edge. It may not appeal to those seeking traditional historical accounts or non-violent narratives. The narrative structure follows the escalating conflict between the two groups. Agranoff uses the supernatural elements to heighten the stakes of their street wars.
