Imagine a world that can scarcely be imagined - the Old Detroit, at its lowest decline, spanning Early 80’s - May 2002.

Imagine the life of a strange teen; a young male of Punk Rock logic & Heavy Metal obsession - reading comic books in a Misfits shirt, blasting KMFDM on his stereo & mosh-pitting at Slayer concerts.

16 in 1997 - when Nine Inch Nails were at peak, Clinton was still president & Marilyn Manson was still The Antichrist.

Here, we have perhaps the last of the great unknown autobiographies concerning a specific mentality & specimen of American Youth.

Not only does this work uniquely capture such a mindset, but it expresses a vast commentary on the Detroit Underground: from Outlaw Rave Parties to Extreme Metal gigs, Punk Rock Chaos to The Occult.

It is a tale of anguish as much as hilarity - and a poignant tract on the dangers of drug abuse & mental illness.

This work began 9-11-2001 - its author 19, unknown & unpublished. Completed 2004 & sitting on the shelf 15+ years, it’s high time to party.

Here, for the first time available to the public - sitting quietly on the shelf 15+ years - is Ryan Bartek’s To Live & Die On Zug Island.
