Description
Darkness lies in every corner of life. Sometimes you are lucky enough to avoid it; other times you are sucked in, and at its mercy. This journey through the horrors and torment of abuse in all its deplorable forms, is retold in explicit detail, because darkness does not care for the innocence of childhood nor for its screams of hope.
From childhood to adolescence, then moving through teenage years, set against a backdrop of late 70s and early 80s punk rock London, this is a story of a young life lived; a testament to the value of friendship; a tale of hope.
Based on actual events, PUNK: A Tale of Abuse, Addiction and Survival narrates the trials and tribulations of the need to fit in, squatting, heroin addiction, reaching the highs and the lowest of the lows, and surviving it all. Through sex, drugs and punk rock, you are pulled into Gary's journey at every twist and turn, in explicit page-turning detail.

Person
Through sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, Gary Morgan has seen and lived it all. He has experienced life by the bucket-load, and as a survivor of all manner of abuse and drug addiction, has successfully pulled himself out of the depths of Hell, and back into the land of the living. Life is not all a bed of roses, and Gary's story no doubt has many parallels with those of many others of his generation. He was a punk before punk even became a thing and, no matter what, a punk he will always be.
