Description
The music died, but the melody of the past echoes with a chance at redemption.
Thirty years after his frontman’ s tragic suicide, washed-up bassist Jonny Wells is drowning in addiction— until a mysterious guitar opens a doorway to the past.
Confiding in his NA sponsor whose own secrets tie into his band’ s history, Jonny uses the instrument’ s temporal powers to jump through time, desperate to unravel Kai Jansen’ s infamous downfall and rewrite fate.
But as past mistakes collide with present dangers, he must decide if he can truly save his best friend or if he is destined to repeat his most destructive chords.
Advance Praise
“A time-traveling love letter to the power of music and friendship, Holt’s SKIP TO THE END is a memorable and potent debut, at times totally grounded and unflinching, the novel still holds onto the very human hope that things can get better. I enjoyed the hell out of this one.”
–Alex Segura, bestselling and award-winning author of Secret Identity, Daredevil: Enemy of My Enemy, Star Wars, and more
"A raw descent into grief and addiction, guided by the ghosts of rock and roll. I found myself tied to this novel by my own memories of living amidst the sweat, noise, and lyrical wreckage of Seattle in the 90s. Fueled by some dark nostalgia, Skip to the End reads like a reality-warping fuzz-drenched, lo-fi horror remix of Singles that showers Sub Pop references like sparks from a Bic lighter. Jeremy Holt unleashes a time-travel nightmare weaponized by the power of song. It drives down desperate, grunge-stained tracks, showcasing the high cost of rewriting the past. This is a beautiful, squalid tribute to the music that could kill us or save us, and the obsessions that destroy us."
–Marcel Feldmar, author of Awkward on the Rocks
"Sex, drugs, and time travel, Skip To The End by Jeremy Holt is a must read page turner!"
–Del James, Author of The Language of Fear and Consensual Violence
