As someone born in 1974 I listened to a lot of grunge. This book has a grunge soundtrack, situated in the nineties and featuring some grunge kids. As kids in the grunge area they have their share of problems with love, parents and drugs. Their biggest problem is a strange race of creatures in their town. These deformed people, Melon Heads, feast on their bodies like zombies.
After a bit of a slow start the book really gets fast-paced with some thrilling and bloody encounters with the Melon Heads. The descriptions of gore are pretty graphic, giving this a really good splatter feel.
I loved the backstory behind the Melon Heads and the very surprising ending.
