Praise for this book
"Andrew Bourelle's first novel grabs you by the throat from the first sentence and drags you deep into a vividly imagined world. The milieu is working class, 1980's hard-luck America, where Headbangers Ball is playing on MTV and the kids aren't all right at all. Heavy Metal is an intense, suspenseful, and moving novel that gives due respect to lives that are mostly ignored. Heavy, indeed—and unforgettable." - Dan Chaon
"Heavy Metal is a brilliant debut novel, at once an incisive, complex character study of damaged youth and a ferociously exciting page-turner. Andrew Bourelle knows that suspense is created not only by a loaded gun, but by the fears of the person holding it. He's written one of the best novels I've read in a long time." - Christopher Coake
