Rhapsody

Anthology – Contemporary & Speculative Fiction

Lyrics are magical – they can instantly impact our emotions, entice our bodies to move, and… inspire other artists! Feel your way through this highly imaginative anthology of stories and songs, all inspired by lyrics, rhymes and chants from such diverse sources as U2, Dire Straits, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Hollies, The Eagles, Shakespeare, Les Misérables, Florence and the Machine, Moby and Muse.

Creative minds connecting to invent and conjure, cast and delight!

“Ah, music,” he said, wiping his eyes. “A magic beyond all we do here!” – J.K. ROWLING
