Sobre IBD

A very unusual blues guitarist gets into a barroom brawl on a distant asteroid. An autistic boy playing air guitar to an audience only his brother can see. A soul singer, paralyzed in a car accident, dealing with the murder of his closest friend. A rock singer in the 1960s, discovering the various meanings of 'family values'. An ageing classical pianist with the ability to remain young and beautiful beyond the restrictions of the real world. A punk band, locked together in a club all night after the show, finding themselves one member short in the morning... Sixteen writers, from rising stars to award-winning and critically acclaimed veterans, have come together to provide a cross-genre spectrum of short fiction. The one thing every story has in common? Music. From science fiction to horror, from literary to mystery, there's something for everyone in Tales From the House Band, Volume 1.
