Staci's guests are Brett Monro and Crista Honey. Their company is Metal Nerds Inc, and they have launched a project called the Kings of the Strip Legacy Project (Tales from the Strip), where they partner with bands to create graphic anthologies for them that they can then sell to fans via mail-order and on their merch tables, which is just brilliant. These comics are a cool representation of the band from start to finish - the colors, graphics, personality, likenesses, stories, content, and so on. Brett and Crista also share stories about podcasting, Alice Cooper, The Beach Boys, and more.

Bert Edens and DE McCluskey talk with Staci about the new short story anthology, “Dismember the Coop.” The book consists of macabre tales inspired by the music of Alice Cooper. It’s also a charity project. What’s more, DE McCluskey wrote a comic horror tale about Def Leppard for a newly released Rock & Roll Nightmares book, "Parallel Lines."

Mercedes M. Yardley and Nadia Robertson, both of whom wrote short stories for the latest collection in the Rock & Roll Nightmares series, “Parallel Lines,” join Staci on today’s podcast. They discuss the inspiration behind their stories—The Beatles (kind of…) for Mercedes, and Elvis (totally) for Nadia. Each author comes from a different perspective and standpoint career-wise, but their love of music and storytelling makes for a fascinating episode!
