Overview

In this 14-track collection of psychological, transgressive, and literary horror, Shirley Jackson Award nominee Rebecca Rowland riffs on classic rock, delivering stories that slide from nostalgic to nightmarish. ""Rock of Ages"" drops college roommates into an apocalyptic food shortage with brutal consequences, while ""Season of the Witch"" follows a girl whose past refuses to stay buried. ""Paper in Fire,"" ""Mrs. Robinson,"" and ""Crash Course in Brain Surgery"" explore vengeance, obsession, and the terrifying ways women rewrite their own myths. From dating disasters to haunted homes and twisted families, Rowland turns everyday life into a dark, unforgettable playlist you'll want to replay-if you dare.

Reviews

""Unsettled Score is often wet and red in texture, but only after a careful simmer of psychosis beneath what appeared to be ordinary people and situations. A gruesome collection that consistently manages to evoke surprise.'"" - Adam Nevill, author of All the Fiends of Hell and Monumental ""A twisted cornucopia of dark delights. This is horror done right!"" - Tim Waggoner, Four-Time Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Face of Pain ""Rowland gives readers a fun frame that effortlessly draws them into each story before she violently knocks them off center via well-executed, visceral, psychologically unmooring twists that, in story after story, work in tandem to rhythmically unsettle the reader."" - Booklist
