Resumen del Editor

Heart-Shaped Box meets The Haunting of Hill House in Schrader's Chord, Scott Leeds's chilling debut about cursed vinyl records that open a gateway to the land of the dead.

I told you they were real.

After his estranged father’s mysterious death, Charlie Remick returns to Seattle to help with the funeral. There, he discovers his father left him two parting gifts: the keys to the family record store and a strange black case containing four ancient records that, according to legend, can open a gate to the land of the dead.

When Charlie, his sister, and their two friends play the records, they unwittingly open a floodgate of unspeakable horror. As the darkness descends, they are stalked by a relentless, malevolent force and see the dead everywhere they turn.

With time running out, the only person who can help them is Charlie’s resurrected father, who knows firsthand the awesome power the records have unleashed. But can they close the gate and silence Schrader’s Chord before it’s too late?

Different and good

Great storyline and plot! Ending seemed a tad difficult to comprehend what was going on, but I’d definitely recommend it.

Can't wait for more from this author!

There are so many things that I love about this book. I read and Audibled as I couldn't wait to see what happened next. It had moments of horror that were terrifying alongside really great character development. I read AND Audibled and George Newbern's narration was perfection. I'm very excited to read future books by this author.

The best story I've heard in a while.

I don't usually write reviews but I'm making an exception for this. I've been on a listening kick the past few months and have listened to dozens of books in the horror/suspense genre. This one by far has been my favorite. The characters and story really came to life in my mind's eye. The author did a superb job and I really hope he writes more.

Interesting

I love a good original horror story. Charlie works in the music industry and gets a call that his father has killed himself. When he goes home for the funeral, he discovers that he`s been given the last thing he wants from his estranged father, his music store and some "cursed" records that must be some kind of joke. This is where things get interesting. This is a story about family and love and what we do to for those we love. The writing is great and the story is interesting. I loved the characters.

engaging story

Schrader's Chord uses its central, musical theme well to propel the story. The characters are enjoyable and gain our caring, though some drop out too soon.

Altogether, a sleek, smoothly written and involving ghost story.

This Book will pull your strings

A thoroughly entertaining trip between the ears. The author's attention to details paint a canvas full of imagery and sound.

Excellent Spooky Tale

Really enjoyed this book from start to finish. Finished in a day. Great character development, wonderful narration. Perfect book for October. Can’t wait for this author to write MORE.

Thoroughly Enjoyable

A fresh take on cursed objects, haunted music and death. I wasn’t expecting to be hooked so fast, I have a short attention span and if it isn’t interesting from the get go I’m out. Interesting, fleshed out characters I cared about. I’m excited to see what the author comes up with in the future. I will be listening!

extremely detailed

I felt like i could see it all happening. I loved it! definitely will read more from this author.
