Guitar Heroes : An Urban Fantasy Short Story

SimonKewin · 11-17-2010, 10:40 AM

A knockabout, urban fantasy short story. Screaming Machinery are a moderately successful power-trio from Manchester, playing gigs to rapturous local crowds. But none of their fans realise they are also mighty heroes, regularly saving the world with magic and sword.

They are called upon again when Manchester comes under dire threat. Eighteen murders take place, each a node in a vast rune drawn across the city in blood. Something very large and powerful is coming through and it’s up to Screaming Machinery to try and stop them ...

Now available at Smashwords and on the Kindle Store (US, UK).

Currently $1.36 for the Kindle, 99c via Smashwords. Kindle version has had some lovely reviews!

Many thanks.

Well....um....I'll check out some reviews....I play fingerstyle guitar, so it kind of peaked my interest.

jhempel24,

Thanks! I can't promise much help with your guitar playing in the story but hopefully it will give you a smile.

I strum an electric guitar in my spare time myself. Not terribly well though ...
