Praise for Revolution Calling:

“Ray Van Horn grew up during the 80s metal upheaval and associated culture wars and was clearly paying attention. Revolution Calling captures what it was like to be a metal fan when the music was still dangerous. The book has a vibe that will remind readers of Joe Lansdale and Robert R. McCammon. If you ever wanted a novel that mapped Stranger Things favorite Eddie Munson’s inner life, this is it. Die posers!”


–Justin M. Norton, Decibel Magazine

“A story of everyday heavy metal folk and how their everyday pain is real.”

–Joel McIver, author of To Live is to Die:  The Life & Death of Metallica’s Cliff Burton

“It’s obvious Ray knows his metal, but it’s also obvious he knows his wider pop culture, history, politics and world events, as Van Horn, Jr. snaps us right back to life as a goofy metalhead in the pressure-cooker that was the late ‘80s—or as Morrissey called it, the haties. As well, he delivers action events, concepts and plot in a rock-solid writing style that shines with clarity. Dialogue is mapped-out with similar confidence, allowing Jason and his exquisitely-drawn buddy Rob, as well as the tale’s other characters, to take shape quickly. Completing the circuit and keeping the tale fizzy and effervescent are endless flashes of place names, band names and brand names.”

–Martin Popoff, heavy metal journalist and author


“A passionate howl from the heart of the 80s.”

–Charles Addai, Editor, Producer and Writer, Hard Case Crime books and comics
