Dead Set: A Rock & Roll Trilogy of Horror

Hudson Horror writer Robert Stava is back with this special collection for the 2023 Catastrophicon Rock & Roll Horror Con, featuring “The Lonely Dancers” (from “Feast of Saint Anne”) along with two previously unpublished novellas, “Cemetery Blues” and “The Invasion”...

THREE BANDS.
THREE TALES OF HORROR.
ONE SPOOKY VILLAGE.

Welcome to Wyvern Falls, that sleepy Hudson River village that seems to lie in that liminal state between worlds . . . including music.

THE LONELY DANCERS: An aspiring young rocker finds himself under the spell of British New Wave trio when they appear onstage at the local carnival… thirty years after the band was killed in a tragic accident.

CEMETERY BLUES: When the grave of local blues legend Billy ‘Legs’ Watkins is desecrated, a struggling artist discovers the dead can reach back from the grave to tear out the village’s darker secrets.

THE INVASION: When four young men spark a retro Anglo-fueled mania cued from those infamous boys from Liverpool and sign with shadowy producer from yesteryear, they discover fame and fortune comes at a truly horrifying price.
Drawing on his decades as a musician in the Rochester and NYC alt-rock scene, horror-writer Robert Stava serves up three novellas that peer at the more unpleasant corners of music industry in: DEAD SET.
