With gorgeous prose and chilling twists, the terrifying but heartfelt core of this family-centered ghost story seals Leeds as a powerful new voice in horror. Don't miss it. --E.G. Scott, internationally bestselling author of The Woman Inside Scott Leeds truly has an ear for fear. Any reader who cracks this cursed book open is doomed to devour it in one sitting like I did. Now I hear ghosts wherever I go. --Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Ghost Eaters Scott Leeds knows music. He writes it true, and he writes it with grit. Then he somehow mixes all that knowledge and passion with a riveting, scary story and makes it sing. Schrader's Chord isn't just a compulsive read: it's horror rock'n'roll. --Wendy N. Wagner, author of The Deer Kings and The Secret Skin Schrader's Chord builds with more twists and turns than your favorite prog rock epic, before reaching a phantasmagoric, surprisingly heart-tugging climax. But perhaps what's most remarkable about Leeds' debut is, for all its ghosts and corpses, how thoroughly it thrums with life. --Nat Cassidy, author of Mary: An Awakening of Terror and Nestlings Take High Fidelity down the Highway to Hell and you may find yourself trapped in the twisted grooves of Schrader's Chord. Leeds orchestrates a pitch-perfect debut that will spin you right 'round into its haunted depths before cranking the horror up to eleven. --Brian McAuley, author of Curse of the Reaper Schrader's Chord delights in the ghoulish and the bizarre. A dark and demonic debut. --Leopoldo Gout, author of Pinata
