"A true-crime collection of yarns about mobsters, murder and mayhem that's a hellish postcard from the honeymoon capital." - John Petkovic, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Nov. 13, 2007

"Mike Hudson has burned his private hole into the earth by exhuming dead bodies and turning the tawdry into the mythic. His digging reveals the mania and voice of a punk savage who just can't stand average." - John Petkovic, Cleveland Plain Dealer
"As a heavyweight journalist and unflinching memoirist, Hudson writes like the devil's on his heels, redemption is on the line, and tomorrow might not come." - D.X. Ferris, Cleveland Scene

Mike Hudson was founder and lead singer of Cleveland's legendary punk rock band the Pagans, who performed with Patti Smith, the Ramones, the B-52s and other leading lights of the era. In a prose style reminiscent of Hunter Thompson and William Burroughs, Hudson paints a stark portrait of a life lived outside society's boundaries.

"I can honestly give DIARY OF A PUNK perhaps the finest praise one can heap upon a music bio: it made me want to listen to the band. Loudly. Right now." - Christopher Schobert, Buffalo Spree magazine, May 2008
"Riveting, rattling and detailed ... full of death-defying tales, angry Cleveland brio and self-inflected disasters. It's truly as punk as the band - which has continued to exist on and off in some form - ever was." - Ira Robbins, Trouser Press
