Featured Release
Curse of the Maestro and Other Stories
ISBN: 9781957354446$19.95
A psychopath’s scented love letters. Neo-Nazi music journalism. The museum guestbook, right beside a lifelike diorama of musicians in their natural habitat. This collection of hybrid fiction is all that remains of the Stonehaven Symphony Orchestra. In the aftermath of their fiery tour bus mishap, Curse of the Maestro documents the lives, loves, and musical pursuits of tuxedo-clad misfits in their own words, a shameless allegory for the performing arts today. Characters from the gamut of racial and sexual orientations drive these short stories, unreliable narrators exploring the secret trenches of high art.
Fearless readers will embark upon an almost archaeological excavation of these artifacts, searching for clues to uncover answers to questions they did not know they had:
Did Romeo and Juliet really text each other?
How did Lil Skank end up overdosing on stage?
And will the young explorer ever discover a maestro’s secrets?
