Music soothes the savage beast...or so they say. But in this tome of terror, music is more than just a placebo for the masses. It is the dark divination of witches, the motivation for revenge, and the power to change the mind, soul, and body of every creature unlucky enough to hear it.

In this anthology, you'll find possessed rock stars, killer radio stations, and concerts from the depths of hell. A macabre musical feast, it includes 300 pages of terrifying, bizarre stories about the hypnotic power of music...and what happens when it gets into the wrong hands.

Featuring new stories and poems from award-winning authors and poets like Gemma Files, Philip Fracassi, Lisa Morton, Tim Waggoner, Linda D. Addison, V. Castro, Hailey Piper, and many more, these songs will entrance, infect, and transport you to a dimension where music is more than sound...it's a language spoken by the unspeakable.

Praise for Weird Little Worlds Anthologies:

"If you are a fan of dark and weird fiction this anthology is for you.” (Mother: Tales of Love and Terror)

“Another anthology from Weird Little Worlds (the same press that did Humans are the Problem, also an excellent anthology.) This time it’s mom in all her glory and gore – good moms, bad moms, absent ones, and ones maybe you wish were gone. This is a fantastic exploration of moms and motherhood from all angles, with a cast of amazing writers and poets.” (Mother: Tales of Love and Terror)

“Where do I start?! They did such an amazing job selecting the stories that went into this book. Every single one was a joy (or terror) to read. I love how it was broken up into 5 different themes to group the stories. I definitely have a few new authors I need to read more from.” (Mother: Tales of Love and Terror)

“This is a powerful anthology, and discussion was fierce as to which story to include in the showcase. Plenty of familiar and new (to us) authors here, and everything glows.” (Mother: Tales of Love and Terror)
