Backmask

by Stacy Beavers

What do you get when you play a country song backwards? You get your wife back, your truck back, your job back… An old joke, but after Steve Barker plays a classic Led Zeppelin song backwards to find the dark subliminal messages there, he gets more than he bargains for. When Matt Fisk arrives unexpectedly to play guitar for Steve’s band, Steve thinks his prayers have been answered. Idol Threat soon signs a major label recording contract, and as they take to the road on their first national concert tour, Steve and the rest of his band have no idea that Matt is leading them down a happy highway to hell. All of this is a cakewalk compared to the nightly nightmare that Matt secretly unleashes on Steve’s wife, Kristen, who fights with everything she has to protect their two young daughters. Classic rock will never sound the same again.
