Dee Snider - rocker, actor, DJ and now writer - releases first novel


By AGENCY

'In 1984, everybody was out partying; I was in the dressing room or in the hotel working on writing. I'm not a singer who decided to write a book - or had someone write one for him. I've been labouring away, honing the craft,' says Dee Snider. Photo: AP

Dee Snider is taking a novel approach to life after rock stardom.

The former singer for the 1980s glam rock band Twisted Sister just released his first novel, Frats, about the madness, cruelty and alcohol and testosterone-fueled bravado of the 1970s high school fraternity scene on Long Island, New York, where he grew up.
