As he did with last year’s hit “Hotel California,” Don Bruns has edited and written a story for the collection based off titles from Jackson’s album.
The book features nine short stories that use the song titles, but nothing else from the songs or lyrics.
Jeffery Deaver, author of “The Bone Collector,” which is being adapted into a new TV series, chose “The Lady in My Life,’ and Heather Graham picked the album’s title song for their projects. Bruns himself wrote a story titled “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’.”
From Beat It to Billie Jean, the songs we know and love take on a brand-new, thrilling connotation in this anthology edited by Don Bruns.
The book also features stories by David R. Slayton, Jennifer Graeser Dornbush, Neil S. Plakcy, Dahlia Rose and Rick Bleiweiss.
But the authors had to come up with their own story ideas.
“They don’t write stories about the song. We don’t want any copyright infringement issues. We can use the titles but if we write stories based on the theme of a song, that’s a problem,” he said.
In this second collection in the Music and Murder Mystery series, nine award-winning, bestselling authors have written their own interpretations of the Thriller song list. With original work from some of the best mystery authors out there, the anthology includes stories from Heather Graham, Jeffery Deaver, William Kent Krueger, Dahlia Rose, and David R. Slayton, among others.
With poignant, frightening, and intriguing stories from some of the best writers in the genre, this eerie collection is sure to keep you up at night–and maybe even haunt your dreams.
