About This Book
The author's son is lead vocalist and lyricist for The Offer, a rock band based in Panama City, Florida. They're signed to Eulogy Recordings, and their debut album, 33 Days, was released on October 23, 2012. Inspired by their words and melodies, their cutting edges and darkened levels of meaning, the author began to make stories. Not really about their songs, not retelling their tunes in prose, but rather taking inspiration from a mood or an image or a line of lyrics transformed into a piece of dialogue and going where his imagination might take it, stumbling headlong into something new. Tales of ghostly mutiny, of mad artists, of Zen in the face of death. Tales of revenge, confession, forgiveness. Explorations of future legends and the loneliness of former time travelers. Ten stories, one for each song on the album. Written in 33 days. That was his challenge. This is his offer.
