He finds that he starts having dreams of the creature, who is becoming younger and more robust, but also doesn’t comprehend just how quickly he has healed from his wounds. Very early into his flight to New York he is attacked by a creature but, the attack being interrupted, he survives (despite a wicked knife wound to the chest). It also means, as he subsequently runs away from home, that he is in many regards a blank slate, polite but little else, for which to draw upon and build upon. Brought up by his mother, home-schooled, prevented from leaving their property and all the while knowing that she was disappointed that he wasn’t a daughter, the reader is left with the impression that there was something about his heritage that was enigmatic, special and due to emerge. NYV: PUNK is a mash of two types of book, where coming-of-age merges into horror and leaves the reader with some mysteries at the end of its length.Ĭoncentrating on fifteen-years-old Chris, his identity is as much a mystery to the character as it is to the reader.
