“Predators: A Musical Novel” begins tomorrow

book-cover-predatorsSince we’re all about the printed word and the tuneful ear candy that is music, Derek Jordan and Mimi Black‘s team-up on Predators: A Musical Novel seems like it would be right up our alley. The press release describes Black’s novel as such:

“Following five friends on a weekend getaway in Paris, the novel depicts the scary truth about the underground world of vampires.”

Simple, yet effective. I’ve not read the story yet, as the first chapter doesn’t appear until tomorrow, but I’m hoping things get gory and/or smutty, but that’s just my subconscious making its preferences known. Jordan’s music, however, I have heard, and it’s much like it’s described: very Britpop, with a lot of Placebo in there. Electronic-tinged alt rock that’s sounds like a more mainstream Stephen Merrit, essentially.

Sign up for the mailing list and look for updates right frickin’ here. Chapter one appears tomorrow.
