Greaser

by Thom Young

A tale of The Outsiders meets Rebel Without A Cause.

They're rude, crude, and foul-mouthed. When two rival gangs square off in a Texas town, the door to hell opens. A local lawyer calls the shots from behind the scenes, while a teacher indulges his fantasies. The bodies stack up and nobody good can be found. Hot rods. Switchblades. Girls. Grease.

Short, sharp, and unapologetic. Greaser packs a lot into its 40ish pages, from rival gangs, hot rods, switchblades, to a cast of characters that keeps you on your toes.

Thom Young's writing style is raw and refreshingly different from anything I've read recently, and I found myself genuinely enjoying it. My only wish? More pages. Consider this a sign to check it out if you're in the mood for something gritty and different!
