Dimovitz brings the city to life with striking realism, where the subcultures of goth kids, drag queens, and café philosophers clash with the darker undercurrents of neo-Nazis and a fading textile industry. https://t.co/6hfSZeDrII
This 4.8/5 review from IndieReader is an astonishingly close reading. "THE JOY DIVISIONS is a riotous, poignant, vividly imagined tale of a generation grappling with irony, alienation, and the search for connection at the edge of a new millennium."

An unsuspecting world on the cusp of massive change.
The year is 1993, and art-school dropout Ed Pullman has returned home to work as a janitor in Allentown, Pennsylvania-the enigmatic nexus where goth kids, coffeeshop culture, and sultry drag queens collide with neo-Nazis, the dying textiles industry, and an unsettling commune led by an aspiring cult leader named Tod Griffon.

Had a fun interview with @Felcherman at The Gnome Appreciation Society. I feel reconnected with my personal relationship with the gnome community.

My review of The Joy Divisions by @ScottDimovitz https://t.co/lotYFnLIpm Picking my top reads of 2023 has just got a lot harder. Highly recommended book.
Not to be outdone by Spike, Drusilla from Buffy is also excited about *The Joy Divisions* coming out! [https://t.co/bPB3XLUsAA ] Thanks, @julietlandau! We live in interesting times.
[I’ll say it again: I have the best wife 😂]
Wow! Spike's excited that I released my novel, *The Joy Divisions*! [ https://t.co/bPB3XLUsAA ] I'm not sure if he read the book or not (he is fictional, after all), but I bet he'd appreciate its goth-punk aesthetic. Thank you, @JamesMarstersOf ! So great.
I have the best wife.
@david_mitchell@sveinc Although, really, it will probably help if you have read everything he's ever written, including the short story you'll never get to read: https://t.co/W9tKLiVa5N
@david_mitchell How about Spirit's "Taurus" for the reincarnation motif? You can almost hear the comets when the guitar comes in.
