Ghost Songs is a book of 16 original stories that have inspired by the music of local musicians. A line, or an image, would strike me, and I would think, Yes, but Twilight Zone… or X-Files . And Ghost Songs was born. The stories are woven together with small bits of current events and news. For instance, it really is possible to get your cremated ashes placed in a vinyl record, and the Hacienda Rape Victim, really gave birth to a baby nobody knew about. And children really are in cages. The stories are loosely interconnected, and return you to the same Netherworld, the same afterlife, as was first described in Spirits of Jerome: my first book of Specualtive stories.
