Music of the Damned: A Supernatural Detective Thriller of Demons, Cults, and Dark Magic

by Joe Talon

Overview

Welcome to Cornwall. Population: Mortal. Problem: Demonic.

Griffin Woodbury thought his first solo case with the Department of Paranormal Investigations would be routine. Then the bodies start piling up at underground raves—victims of more than just drugs.

With arcane symbols hidden in flyer art, minds unravelled by madness, and a seductive force luring partygoers to their doom, Griffin knows he’s not just chasing a killer—he’s chasing a… Well, what?

Teaming up with his tech-whiz partner Sid and his sceptical police liaison—and cousin—Sergeant Megan Ackley, Griffin dives into a world where ancient magic meets modern menace. Clues point to Mephistopheles, an incubus manipulating online cults and digital glamour to spread chaos.

Reality is bending. Time is running out. And if Griffin fails, the next rave won’t just bring bass drops—it’ll bring the apocalypse.

From the bestselling occult horror writer, Joe Talon, this is first full-length novel in the new Griffin Woodbury Supernatural Detective series. Perfect for lovers of Stephen King’s, The Outsider.

Dark magic. Digital footprints. One hell of a first case.

About the Author

Joe Talon is an author used to walking in a place where you're never quite certain if the world is full of rainbows or shadows. Real life holds little interest.
Having grown up on Exmoor, Joe has been fascinated by the mysterious and spooky places that dwell in the dark woodlands and quiet combes. In Joe's first series, the world is a little sideways from ours. It is full of shapes moving on the edge of our vision when they shouldn’t and cold spots in warm places. For Joe, there is always the question, 'what would I do if'?
When writing crime, Joe tangles with gangsters and dealers, murderers and thieves, all in the small town of Glastonbury. A place known for its otherness.
Joe's Cornish adventures once more explore the supernatural blending with real world events. If you would like to know more, do come and join the Taloneers. You can easily find Joe in the usual haunts of writers, (I'm not allowed to give you my digital address). There are all kinds of mysteries and fun to be had.
What spare time Joe has is spent with seven dogs, lots of walks, chaotic gardening, and exploring the strange worlds just the other side of what we think we know to be real. Who needs real life when there are books!
