Rebellious Roots: Punk Rock Vampire Horror with Author Steve Sxaks
Description
Steve Sxaks’s novel, Invasion of the Punk Rockers, Who Drink Blood! taps into and explores how counter-culture is a key part of horror history.
His horror narratives about punk rock vampires, get to the heart of punk and goth culture and what it means to be part of a group and part of the system.
As a former soldier, Steve has a unique take on what it means to be part of a group, a clique, and what it really means to wear a ‘uniform’.
We talk influences like Troma Entertainment, horror comics, other nerdy ideas and more in this one, all getting to the main point that horror has been built on punk rock, counter-culture ideals and it’s gotta stay that way.
