LEECH MOB: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang

Date Rape

This is a blog on the dreaded subject of date rape. Date rape is when a couple goes out and usually the guy puts pressure on the girl or gets her drunk and takes advantage of her sexually. Date rape usually involves someone, once trusted, who uses their proximity to manipulate their partner. In Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang, Violet is a girl known to have many boyfriends. She also comes from a family whose parents like to drink and throw a lot of parties. When one of her parent’s friends gets drunk and tries to pressure Violet sexually, all hell breaks loose, especially when her friends don’t believe her. Is this just another one of Violet’s made-up stories? Through the whole ordeal, Violet feels a little like the girl who cried wolf.

Conscious Bands

I’d thought I’d write a short blog about Conscious Bands, which are an important factor in Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang. A Conscious Band is a necklace, usually with a round, leather medallion with the continent of Africa in the middle. They are striped black, green, yellow and red which are popular colors for African flags and have different meanings behind them. Conscious Bands represented a Free South Africa-- or being conscious to the struggle that was happening in South Africa.

Conscious Bands became popular in the late 80’s and early 90’s when many hip-hop artists also wore them. People could find them in many African imports shops in the 90’s but in 2012, searches for the phrase Conscious Bands turned up very little information and images for them. Now, at the end of days, it will be Andrew who will be held responsible for the Conscious Band Incident. In Leech Mob, Andrew introduces Conscious Bands to Kelly who goes on to wear one, which sparks some controversy among the different gangs.

Skaters

Matty Brody

Anyone who ever failed to land a rail slide or fell off their board while skating down a cliff and put a hole in their skull like I did that day, could tell you, skaters have to be a hard breed of people. In skateboarding, there is very little between you and metal and concrete – so some of the craziest and toughest kids I’ve known in my life have been skaters. And in Leech Mob you get to read about some of them!

Hardcore Music

Jasper and Aaron

Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang is a funny, shocking novel about youth in America – set back in the day in the early 1990’s. This was a period of time when rock music was fading out and hardcore was fighting its way out of the underground music scene. In Leech Mob, you’ll read about hardcore shows, mosh pits, underground bands, fights, rumbles and all sorts of chaos in general.
Just remember kids,
HAVE FUN!

F*ck Racism

Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang is a book with an anti-racist message. It breaks down stereotypes and introduces a range of diverse individuals from all races and walks of life. Everyone who reads Leech Mob will be able to identify with the different characters and witness how these characters interact and relate with each other. Groups of preps, jocks, skaters, hardcore kids, skinheads, and gangsters are constantly at odds with each other and there is never a dull moment.

Marijuana

As the American government decriminalizes marijuana, we, as a society, are going to have to learn about weed in a different light. First, cannabis is a lot safer to use than alcohol. In fact, alcohol kills more people than every other drug put together while pot remains the safest alternative. The truth is that alcohol is the biggest gateway drug and also the most socially accepted one, so what’s up with that?! I believe that all the bad press about marijuana is often contributed by the big alcohol companies who are trying to eliminate competition. In Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang, you’ll meet a pothead here and a social marijuana smoker there and find that after using weed, kids don’t blackout or change the ways that alcohol and hard drugs change kids for the worse.

A Book For Teens Who Hate To Read

When I was young I didn’t like to read books cause they were usually very boring and you had to read hundreds of pages until something cool happened. What’s different about Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang is that it takes off from page 1 and reads like a collection of short stories - joined together by a group of main characters. Something always cool is happening in Leech Mob! In fact, I dare you to take the Leech Mob challenge! That is, open the book to any random page and start reading and I bet it will grab your attention!
