Ghost Frequencies

What if the songs you know by heart were never about what you thought?

Ghost Frequencies is a collection of ten literary short stories, each one built from the bones of a classic song. Not retellings. Not fan fiction. These are original stories that inhabit the emotional architecture of songs by Bowie, Cohen, The Beatles, The Eagles, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, The Rolling Stones, Queen, and The Animals — and transform them into something that breathes on its own.

A bassist plays a flawless ninety-minute set while feeling nothing. A parish priest writes a eulogy for a woman he saw every day but never knew. A brothel in New Orleans swallows lives across three centuries. An astronaut refuses to come home. A young immigrant in London shatters into five movements of opera. A musician records the truest song of his life at twenty-eight, then plays it again at sixty-eight. A soldier paints a door black and it isn't enough. A grocery clerk catalogues every detail of the woman she's convinced will take her husband. A software engineer checks into a corporate campus and forgets how to leave. A songwriter spends seven years trying to say one honest word.

Ten songs. Ten stories. Ten ways of being trapped, broken open, and — sometimes — reassembled.

• Comfortably Numb

• The House of the Rising Sun
