How This Came to Be

Two years after writing Tale of the Eternal Sea and composing an accompanying score for the Frightful Refrains horror-themed compilation album, I was asked to contribute a couple of new songs to Frightful Refrains 2: The ReFrightening.

So once again, I decided I needed another short story to find the right sound. A story to score.

This time, my plan was to keep it shorter. I’d write a mini-short, just 500 words that could scroll slowly on a video with the score playing in the background. But as tends to happen, the project ballooned, and my 500 word short story became a 20,000 word novella, and my two songs became an entire album.

You can read the novella here.
