The Circle of Fifths

by E.G. Stone

Just when I thought my day couldn’t get worse, I am accidentally summoned in Death’s place…

My name is Cal Thorpe, and I am in the middle of learning to live a life after the return of my wayward soul. My emotions are a mess and I will start weeping at the sight of an empty bowl of popcorn. Then, my cousin Baz and I are accidentally summoned by a punk band who managed to get their hands on a recipe for summoning Death. Now, they want my help to get rid of a curse lingering at a music festival. Before I can protest, Baz agrees and I’m stuck helping out a band with really terrible music.

While investigating this mess, I discover that there’s more going on than just a simple curse. And it would appear I’m at the centre of it all. Someone’s out to get me, and if I don’t undo this curse, then it won’t just be me in harm’s way, it will be a whole lot of innocent people.

As always, things go downhill from there.

About the author

Evelyn Grimald “E.G.” Stone is an independent author, editor, and linguist who has been writing, creating and causing vast amounts of trouble since a young age. When not writing, she is off musing about the workings of languages—both real and created—or reading and sewing. E.G. reads voraciously, much to the confusion of her two dogs and two cats. Weird, nerdy, perhaps a little crazy, she is having a grand old time writing, reading, editing, musing on language, and, naturally, continuing her endeavours in causing trouble.
