From H. P Lovecraft's the Music of Erich Zann to Joe Hill's Heartshaped Box, music and musical concepts have worked their way into the imaginations and work of macabre authors. Douglass Wynne (The Devil of Echo Lake), James Chambers (Three Chords of Chaos), and Todd Keisling (The Final Reconciliation) join Curtis M. Lawson (Black Heart Boy's Choir) for our first panel-style episode. We discuss the role of music in literary horror - why it resonates, how it works, the challenges of writing it, and more.
