Three are children who will face off against the likes of legendary song villain Stagger Lee and a gruesome ghoul he reports to. Take away the songs, songs manifesting themselves as spirits, and the city collapses against a collection of all the storms ever visited on the area.Ī chosen few are tasked with using magic to fend off the attack. Evil is out to kill nine essential songs holding this world together. Music always felt like the heartbeat here, we just never realized it is the heartbeat. There is no place like it, except in “The Ballad of Perilous Graves.” Alex Jennings fires up the torches to show the real Nola. Nola’s time might be coming to an end.In the spirit here, I ask that if you are currently deceased, it is imperative that you resume living at once and begin reading – (very loosely taken from part of the digital galley). But a storm is brewing, and the Haint of All Haints is awake.
Unwilling to watch his home be destroyed, Perry will sacrifice everything to save it. Nine songs of power have escaped from the piano that maintains the city’s beat, and without them, Nola will fail. So when the city’s Great Magician starts appearing in odd places and essential songs are forgotten, Perry realizes trouble is afoot. In a world of everyday miracles, Perry might not have a talent for magic, but he does know Nola’s rhythm as intimately as his own heartbeat. To those from Away, Nola might seem strange. A place of sky trolleys and dead cabs, where haints dance the night away and Wise Women help keep the order. You can also find him goofing around on Instagram: is a city full of wonders. His debut novel, The Ballad of Perilous Graves is due out from Redhook in 2022. He’s going a little nuts shut up in his Central City apartment, but thankfully he has two of the best roommates on earth (one of whom is a beautiful beautiful dog named Karate Valentino.
