MOONSTOMPER is a two-fisted, suited-and-booted tale that takes the reader through Chicago’s dive bars, dark alleys, and smokey house-parties to deliver a curb-stomped world filled with Punks, Skins, Goths, Skaters, and Metalheads.

Set within the fast, loud and sometimes violent world that was Chicago’s Hardcore Punk and Metal scenes of the mid-1980’s, Moonstomper follows Steve Andersen, a Trojan Skin who does anything he can to protect his younger siblings Matt and Luna from the negative influence of their father and disgraced Chicago cop, Mike.
