Started this playlist with Husker Du and ending with Bob Mould‘s screed “Sacrifice/Let There Be Peace. “ More Dark“ (which is available online). Come With Me And Walk The Longest Mile.”) “The Men from Porlock.” Let’s go with Clutch (can’t go wrong with Clutch) and their “The Regulator” (“Dream With The Feathers Of Angels Stuffed Beneath Your Head. “Vastation.” The song? Firewater‘s “Dark Days Indeed.” I could quote the whole song, to be honest, but here’s a snippet: “I feasted on the fatted calf, I drank whole cities dry, I made the devil dance for me, and I spat into his eye.” The song: “The Unattractive, Portable Head.” (“There is a future your eyes may not see, there is a future you may not believe…I want to stand up and be twenty feet tall, I want to reach out and feel nothing at all” First up is Grinderman‘s “Heathen Child” (video is NSFW, “You think your great big husband will protect you, you are wrong.”)īonus tune is from a little band from Providence called Daughters. The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All Laird Barron 3.97 3,689 ratings425 reviews Want to read Kindle 11.99 Rate this book Over the course of two award-winning collections and a critically acclaimed novel, The Croning, Laird Barron has arisen as one of the strongest and most original literary voices in modern horror and the dark fantastic. Couple of songs for you and this crazed story. “Jaws of Saturn,” which is original to Laird’s collection. (“Fresh young face, king of a lovely place…Go and get yourself buried. “The Siphon.” Our tune is Tomahawk‘s “Sweet Smell of Success,” and it’s a damn good match, if I do say so myself. Skinned Alive.”)Īnd a bonus tune because it’s awesome and it’s video has a werewolf.
“The Carrion Gods in Their Heaven.” So you get PJ Harvey‘s “Man-Size” (“I’m coming up Man-sized. (“42 Boche’s dicks and a lie as white as a bad Canadian tie.”) Paying supporters also get unlimited streaming via the Bandcamp app. I hate monkeys worse than Christ.” I couldn’t help but hear Shellac‘s “Boche’s Dick” while reading this. “Hand of Glory,” which includes the awesome line: “He raised monkeys. First up, Nina Nastasia’s “Stormy Weather.” (I’m afraid of stormy, stormy weather/There’s nothing i can do, there’s nothing you can do”)Īnd the other song is Buffalo Tom‘s “Frozen Lake” (“In the frozen lake she comes and takes”) Both, to my ears, have the feel of the story. “The Renfield Girls.” I’m cheating in my playlist by choosing two songs.
“Blackwood’s Baby” Husker Du, “Chartered Trips” (“Horizon is oblivious in this chartered trip away…” Barron returns with his third collection, The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All.Instead of my usual paragraph or two of semi-literate blathering about how good a book was, I’ve assigned awesome tunes to each of Laird’s awesome stories. Melding supernatural horror with hardboiled noir, espionage, and a scientific backbone, Barron's stories have garnered critical acclaim and have been reprinted in numerous year's best anthologies and nominated for multiple awards, including the Crawford, International Horror Guild, Shirley Jackson, Theodore Sturgeon, and World Fantasy awards. Laird Barron has arisen as one of the strongest and most original literary voices in modern horror and the dark fantastic.
