David Agranoff is a razor sharp writer, a storyteller with a hard rock pacing, a magician of ideas, an adventurer in subcultures, an expert in underground music scenes--all of which is apparent in "Amazing Punk Stories." But he's fundamentally something else. David Agranoff is an idealist in Hell."

Behold the insanity of mosh pits at the end of the world

From the frontiers of deep space to a punk rock village...

Flight of the Black Stork is about the ultimate tragedy of right versus right. When their ancient civilization approached its end, the aliens prayed for salvation. Their god heard the prayers of his chosen people and gave them a promised land for their deliverance. Unfortunately, it was Earth. When extra-terrestrial ships jump a battle damaged B-24 returning from a strike over Germany, Tuskegee Airmen flying escort aggressively fight off the attack in their Red Tailed P-51s. This engagement marked the beginning of the alien fifty-year reconnaissance and invasion plan. A daring surprise...

In the Subcity, the crooked cop who used to hire Kaito for 'extracurricular duties' has been used as meat for a military experiment.
And his best friend, the formidable...

The apocalypse unfolds in shattered neon and bloody steel, and all that stands in its way is a crew of drug-fiends, criminals, renegades and madmen...

This time it's gonna be taking no prisoners, no quarter given, and the devil will LITERALLY take the hindmost. Kaito loses his mind, but gains a few thousand megatons of nuclear firepower. Jaqub Haszan finds himself oddly attracted to the woman who's trying to kill him. And Octavio Vanecke is born again... although not in any kind of a religious sense.
