Overview

""A fucking beauty of a book, every story brilliant."" -Kaaron Warren, award-winning author of The Underhistory The beach where his teenage sister disappeared / time and dream melt in the mouth of deep weird- An open mic night bears witness to a fury / a life-changing performance before a dread jury- A truck stop photo by a touring punk bassist / a chase across the country and her most personal places- Seven friends mourn a beloved queer icon / a final bequest unleashes the deepest dark of an eidolon... Songs of shadow, words of woe! A lonely film student attends a free indie screening / will this obscure flick bring the end he's dreaming? -Two wilful women climb a hill to watch a storm / and learn their town's history of racism and scorn- Grotesque gangsters in a burlesque club dive / trouble erupts when a new player arrives- Invited to experience true terror, not a relic / a horror film fan runs through a theatre derelict... Songs of shadow, words of woe! Thirteen morbidly melodic deep cuts from Matthew R. Davis, including the Australasian Shadows Award-winning ""Steadfast Shadowsong"" and the Shirley Jackson Award-nominated novelette ""Heritage Hill."" ""Elegant, frightening, and so delightfully strange, this isn't just a collection-it's a cabal."" -Aaron Dries, author of Dirty Heads and A Place for Sinners ""A powerhouse collection filled with rock and roll, the uncanny, the unsettling, and the all-out terrifying. A few stories had me looking over my shoulder to see what was lurking in the dark corners of my room."" -Jo Kaplan, Shirley Jackson Award-nominated author of When the Night Bells Ring
