In Kitty and Cadaver, Kitty Carrasco, funeral parlour beautician, gets the shock of her life when the recently departed, whom she's making presentable for their funerals, all sit up in their coffins. Instinctively, she sings a song that releases them from whatever animates their corpses. Soon she joins forces with a band with a history going back to the 13th Century to discover what's raising the dead in Melbourne and fight the supernatural dangers coming for them.
The short stories of Tales of the Minstrel Tongue explore the history of this band and others who are born with the gift of 'the Minstrel Tongue' - the ability to weild magic through music, and so protect humanity from monsters. This magic also manifests in other creatives - dancers and crafters can also weave magic through their art and actions.
Through this collection, you will encounter grieving gods and grieving girls, poorly summoned demons, elemental powers, and talking ravens - and those with magic in their veins and voices, who seek to put the world back into balance.
Genre: Horror
