Working Soundtrack

I'm working steadily on my WIP ghost story, inspired by and influenced by the national nightmare we're facing.

My goal is for this book to be 60-75K words, max. A shorter novel, by my standards, which feels right for the genre.

To that end, my working soundtrack (something I so often do when I write, as you may remember) has trended this way:

Massive Attack
The Sound
Autolux
Portishead
The XX
Mission of Burma
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The Horrors

These moody musical offerings convey the right vibe for this novel.

This book isn't likely to see publication until October-December of this year, so in the meantime, to get a sense of it, listen to the above, and you'll have the right vibe.

I'm enjoying how this one is going, feel like it should be a satisfying ghost story if I do it right.
