"Ten songs, Ten tales, One Creepy town."
"A little over a year ago, I went missing for 72 hours."
Brian travels to write about lesser known dive bars. His recent destination, the town of Redfield, Georgia. Karaoke Night here is not typical, as the singers sing the very same song over and over. As Brian interviews each one, they tell their story behind the chosen song. Each one has a connection to the previous and it all comes together as they each tell of the darkness that lies within their souls.
The "Unknown" is ever watching and they must bring their stories to completion for it to be completely understood. The journey through song must be followed. It is dark, sinister, frighteningly creepy and it descends into a macabre atmosphere.
I enjoyed reading this. Presented as interviews was unique and the personalities of each character came to life. As someone who loves, appreciates music and feels that music is a universal language, I loved how each chapter was a song title. It really sets the mood and easily creates a connection. Albeit, John turns these titles into a deep and dark tale of the horrific. It was all wrapped up tightly into an excellent ending.
This one is a gem!
