Book Synopsis
Inspired by pop music history and written in the style of 60s horror pulp, BACKMASK is the fake history of a conspiracy theory surrounding the Satanic agenda to control children's minds.
Nicholas Hush, 1960s record producer, has a vision for the future of pop music. After a series of prophetic dreams, he wants to combine occult imagery with upcoming trends to create a new, groundbreaking look. His secretary, Valerie Chill, is tasked with finding consultants and funding while he crafts the perfect album. Quickly their project becomes entangled in other, larger machinations, and two teenage pop acts become responsible for international intrigue, brainwashing, and an occult massacre. Taking inspiration from the lives of Joe Meek, Phil Spector, and Timothy Leary, BACKMASK is a speculative look at how hidden messages got into pop music.
Review Quotes
A crawling bass line, an insistent and arousing thump...drawing you to a doorway occulted with shadows where only the right word and handshake will allow you admittance.
Compelling, sexy, neon-lit, intoxicating pop magick espionage.
Fucking COOL.
As cool can be. ICE COLD.
Like a snort of strange dope in a party at a fortune teller's house where the weirdest coolest band you've ever heard is playing.
