In 2005, I had the opportunity to stay overnight in one of the world's most haunted theaters: The Bird Cage in Tombstone, Arizona. Although a very different kind of theater from my fictional Osiris Theater, the experience definitely colored my creation of The Osiris Circle. |
Review of Grommets by Rick Remender and Brian Posehn
Two outcast best friends navigate the Sacramento suburbs of 1984, where they find a home in skateboard culture and punk rock. Perfect for fans of John Hughes' Brat Pack teen movies, Freaks & Geeks, and Dazed & Confused.
Grommets is both an authentic look at ’80s skate culture—a snapshot of the generation that turned skating into a worldwide phenomenon— as well as a heartfelt coming-of-age story following two friends from troubled homes navigating their damage in an era when no one cared. The series’ title springs from skater slang, a “grommet” is a commonly used term for a young up-and-coming skater or surfer. Since the ’60s it’s been used to describe the next generation of kids who, with youthful exuberance, love the sport but want to put their spin on it. READ MY REVIEW HERE >> ORDER THE BOOK HERE >> |
