Manny Torres and 2 other people liked Elford Alley's review of Dead Boys Don’t Cry: "A visceral fever dream of horror, the kind of grisly, otherworldly story telling told with absolutely stunning prose that Joe Koch excels at. As with any of Koch's fiction, it's like nothing else. "

America in a nutshell. Plunder it and go. There is some redemption at the end so at least there’s that.
