Product Description

Product Description

"Except the Music reads like a mainstream piece of fiction; the fantastical element of the story is marvelously underplayed, making it accessible even to casual fantasy fans."
SFSignal.com

"Where do musicians go to die?"
"Wondering?” he asked. “About death?”
She shrugged a pretty shoulder, then turned a lamp on the end table beside the bed. He hadn’t noticed the lamp or the end table before. Of course, he had been preoccupied.
“Death is a hobby of mine,” she said so calmly that it made him nervous».

4.0 out of 5 stars "Where do musicians go to die?" 8 Feb 2012
By Kitsune - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase
Max and Otto are musicians, but each one has a very different and particular way to feel music and live out of it and FOR it. One of them, Otto, would even die surrounded by a music festival, instruments and the perfect melody. Max will understand Otto's thoughts after meeting Maria, an enigmatic woman who seems to know the answer to "Where musicians go to die?"

After reading Kristine Kathryn Rusch's poetic prose I ended up thinking that for some things "There is no cure, you know. Except the music."

Can't say much without spoilers, but it makes me wish I still made music more often...
