Kiss of the Mudman
Do yourself a huge favor. Go to a bookstore and pick up Gary Braunbeck's Mr. Hands, put out by Leisure Books. Read it. Marvel at the man's ability to get you to feel for the characters as if they were your close friends.
When you're done with Mr. Hands, take a break.
Then return and read Kiss of the Mudman. The novella won the International Horror Guild award and it rightfully deserved it. This is one of the most chilling yet beautifully written stories I've ever read. Gary's one of those authors that can bring you to tears with his stores. Keepers does that as well.
As a musician, I related to Mudman in ways most people won't, but you'll get it, you'll feel it. You won't be disappointed.
Peace,
Gary . . .
