It occurs to me that the words and frazes of those titles could be used to describe much of the book…
It occurs to me that the words and frazes of those titles could be used to describe much of the book…
Let’s see…
-The book is pretty “Dark.”
-Maybe not bullets or butterflies…but more than a few things involve a metaphor of dead moth “…Wings.
-To get information, the protagonist has to “Bleed the Freak”
-The cover on CD cover on “Winters Knight” looks a bit like I conceptualized as my protagonist…
-Well the words “Chop Suey” don’t make it in there (as of yet)…but it is about several individuals who “cry when angels deserve to die.”
-Yes…he did “Fade to Black”
-There is a lost soul who becomes all of the “Monsters (Under the Bed)”.
-Our ragged hero has fallen “Down in a Hole” (and just about all the lyrics of the song fit him).
-Chapter 2 involves the “Ascention of the Spirit” of a little girl and a sad angel “Knocking on Heaven’s Door”.
-And yes, in the prologue, there is a red dore, and the ashen angel does “Paint it Black” (though I honestly didn’t realize this untill months after I’d written it).
I could probably go on…but I need to get to work.

Did you get Dead Souls off the chubby I made for you?
That is possibly the oddest question I have ever asked anyone.
Fortunately you know what I mean by it.
Unfortunately no one else will.

He-he.
I might have…or I might have gotten it off of Nick’s The Crow soundtrack (but it was scratched and I couldnt’ get many songs off of it).
