Playlist of the Damned

by Tim Waggoner, Jess Landry (Editor), Willow Becker (Editor)

Overview

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 it, you'll find possessed rock stars, killer radio stations, and concerts from the depths of hell. Over 250 pages of terrifying, bizarre stories about the hypnotic power of music and what happens when it gets into the wrong hands.
