PUNK goes HORROR II: Hardcore for the Encore Anthology 2026 (Paperback)

$22.00

PROMPT:
Choose a punk, or a punk adjacent song to use for inspiration, and then creatively channel that song’s ‘energy’ into a horror short story. You can draw inspiration from the lyrics, the message, or just the overall ‘vibes’ of the song, and the resulting short story should have the same title as the song you’re writing for, to help readers make the connection.

PRIMARY THEMES:
Righteous Anger, Anti-Establishment, Rebellions Against Authority, Rock and Roll Lifestyles, etc. But, of course, feel free to expand outside of this, if the song/story warrants it!
