January 25th 2016 by Riptide Publishing
I’m
supposed to be better than this. I'm supposed to have a tenure-track job
teaching music history to undergrads, writing papers about Bach, and proving to
kids like me that you can work your way out of Harlem. I'm not supposed to be following a rock star around the country,
fetching his mail, making sure his groupies are of age.
I'm
definitely not supposed to be sleeping with said rock star, who claims to be
the Greek God Dionysus. At first I thought it was a load of crap. Nik's fans
might think his music captures their hearts—and souls—but I knew better. Until
one of Nik's orgiastic concerts gets out of hand and I don’t know which is
worse: that he might be a god after all, or that he has a body count.
Nik
doesn’t care what I want or what I should be. He wants to tear down the world
I've built, warping all I am, until his music is all that's left of me. I can't
let him do that. I shouldn't believe in him. I've seen what happens to the
people who believe in him.
But
I can't get his song out of my head.
About Erica Kudisch
Erica
Kudisch lives, writes, sings, and often trips over things in New York City.
When not in pursuit of about five different creative vocations, none of which
pay her nearly enough, you can usually find her pontificating about dead gay
video games, shopping for thigh-high socks, and making her beleaguered
characters wait forty thousand words before they get in the sack.
In
addition to publishing novellas and short stories as fantastika-focused
alter-ego Kaye Chazan (What Aelister Found Here and The Ashkenazi Candidate,
both available at Candlemark & Gleam) Erica is responsible for the BDSM
musical Dogboy & Justine, and serves as creative director and co-founder of
Treble Entendre Productions.
She
also has issues with authority. And curses too fucking much.
