Publisher's Synopsis
DO YA THINK I'M SEXY?
There is just something so provocative about rock stars...
We can't get enough of their gently-weeping guitars, tuneful talents, and sexy shenanigans. Whether you plastered Jimi Hendrix posters all over your bedroom walls, danced to Love Is A Battlefield at your wedding, or dressed as Slash on Halloween - admit it: you've been beguiled by the guitar gods.
Go behind the music and down the rabbit hole with five bizarre, outlandish, dark, droll, and just plain sacrilegious stories by Darren Gordon Smith (Blurt: Curses & Verses) and Staci Layne Wilson (Rock & Roll Nightmares series).
Fandom/Phantom - When Alberta magically brings her favorite departed rock n roll poet back to life, he's everything she dreamed... at first.
Little Rosie vs. The Devil - When Satan tempts guitarist Strings McGee at the crossroads of his life, there's hell to pay.
In(ter)vention - When alkie music critic Ian is ambushed with an intervention by his well-meaning but misguided family, things go from bad to super-bad.
Depraved Indifference - When Hawkeye gets too obsessed with the flameout fatalities of famous hi-fi heroes, fantasy spills into reality.
Fishing With Grandpa - When aging, entitled rock star Rhys Weedham takes a shine to his granddaughter's best friend, the unsuspecting young lady is faced with a Hobson's choice.
PRAISE FOR SEX DEATH ROCK N ROLL
"With an authentic and uncompromising dedication to musicians from decades past, Wilson and Smith deliver a highly energetic and equally nuanced set of stylish tales of obsession, cynicism, neurosis and rage - all driven by a street sensibility and catapulting from the varied voices of the angry outsider. Not to be missed!" - Lee Gambin, Author ' We Can Be Who We Are: Movie Musicals From the 70s'
"This book shreds!" - Lisa S. Johnson, Photographer/Author '108 Rock Star Guitars'
"Tales of the fantastic blended with the razor kiss of rock n roll." - Tristan Risk, Burlesque Icon 'Little Miss Risk'
"With backstories like these - Wilson's dad is a rockstar (The Ventures), Smith is a musician (Repo! The Genetic Opera) - their stories have to be great. And they are!" Bobby Smith, Author 'Bowie Bible'
