Description
Mayhem at the Desert’s Edge It's 1972. A former ’60s pop star arrives in a small West Texas town, desperate to make a comeback record at a tiny music studio run by an eccentric producer. With determination and gall, but very little budget, he cobbles together a ragtag band of local musicians. Meanwhile, a young female filmmaker is in town trying to make a documentary about an unsolved disappearance. Getting zero police cooperation and running out of time, she decides, instead, to make her film about the little studio and the struggling musician. The projects soon fall into turmoil, beset by insanity, supernatural events, and untimely death. In the midst of this madness, all they can do is press “RECORD” and roll tape.
Advance Praise
“With great authority, Henry Terrell has written a compelling novel that evokes the place and time of West Texas, both past and present and without nostalgia or cliche, creating sympathetic and compelling characters as they overcome unexpected obstacles in this winding tale.”
—Antoinette Van Heugten, USA Today bestselling author of Saving Max
“Henry Terrell’s Salt of the King is a masterful blending of music, mystery, and small-town intrigue, all driven by a colorful cast of characters and enough clever plot twists and turns to keep you hooked from start to finish. It’s at times funny, tragic, and thought-provoking but always highly enjoyable. A great read!”
—Gary Hartman, founding director, Center for Texas Music History, Texas State University
“Henry Terrell tells stories of life, death and the everyday moments when we try to make sense of our perspectives, duty, and bliss (plus a tasteful dose of creepiness). Salt of the King has analogous themes of insulation, buffering, momentary transcendence, and capture that play out in a small recording studio, a small town, and in peoples’ minds, where a desire to suspend space and time is a click track.”
—Peter Rockrise, musician and raconteur
