52 Songs, 52 Stories

3.4/5 ( ratings)

A very simple idea. Each week for a year, I picked a song at random, wrote a story inspired by it, and published it on the web to an audience of several thousand. This book is the result.

Fifty-two songs, fifty-two stories.

A mix of genres and themes, as you might expect from stories inspired by artists as diverse as the Velvet Underground, John Cage, The Beastie Boys, Tom Waits, The Cure, Lee Hazlewood, My Bloody Valentine, Johnny Cash, LCD Soundsystem and Justin Timberlake.

Iain's fiction has been reprinted in Year's Best anthologies, won awards, and been shortlisted for the UK Crime Writers' Association's Debut Dagger award.

"You owe it to yourself to discover Rowan's fiction if you haven't already had the pleasure."
– Jeff Vandermeer, two-time winner of the World Fantasy Award

"A short story writer of the highest calibre."
– Allan Guthrie, author of Top Ten Kindle Bestseller Bye Bye Baby, winner of Theakston's Crime Novel of the Year

"Iain Rowan's stories never fail to surprise and delight, and just when you think you know what will happen next, you realize how much you've been caught unaware."
– Sarah Weinman, writer, critic, reviewer, columnist for the Los Angeles Times and News Editor for Publishers Marketplace
