Description

A collection of darkly captivating short tales, each inspired by the melodies that move us, the lyrics that linger, and the stories hidden between the notes.

Music has the power to transport us, to spark memories, stir emotions, and tell stories beyond the lyrics. In this unique collection, twenty-six original short stories take inspiration from some great songs, weaving tales of love and loss, hope and heartbreak, mystery and magic.

From whispered ballads to anthems that demand to be heard, each story transforms melody into narrative, crafting unforgettable characters and moments shaped by the rhythms of life. Whether you find yourself lost in a haunting melody, swept up in the euphoria of a chorus, or caught in the tension of a single note, these stories promise to resonate long after the final page.

A must-read for lovers of music and storytelling alike, because behind every great song, there’s a story waiting to be told.
