Stagger: A Short Story

by Andrew Hickey

Some call it honky-tonk music. Others, the Devil's music. To Luther Davenport, the greatest honky-tonk fiddle player of them all, it was music worth killing for.

A short horror story about cowboy music by Andrew Hickey.

This ebook edition comes with a bonus second story, "Guys and Dholes", a comedy horror story which homages Damon Runyon and H.P. Lovecraft.

About the author

I had a biography here but it was very out of date. Currently my main work is my podcast, A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs. The New Yorker compared that to the Bible, Oxford English Dictionary, and the works of Gibbon and Pepys, and said it "will eclipse every literary project in history". So that's nice.

While I recognize the writing style of these two short stories as tried and true, they’re not quite my cup of tea. I think I enjoyed the bonus story, Guys and DHoles, more than the main tale, which was mostly ‘old man rambles racistly about the past’ in long, run on sentences, a medium that I didn’t personally appreciate. The speculative fiction angle was neat, though. Might check out more by this author in the future.
