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
