Synopsis … Genesis evolved from a 1960’s band formed by a group of English schoolboys to become one of the most popular rock groups of all time. Over the years, Genesis shape-shifted again and again, moving from prog rock to pop, changing lead singers from founding member Peter Gabriel to drummer Phil Collins. But the one constant has been their inventive songs and vivid lyrics, which have attracted a dedicated global fanbase.
With In Too Deep: Crime Stories Inspired by the Songs of Genesis, some of the most talented short fiction writers around put their own spin on some of the group’s most iconic songs, drawing from the 1990’s smash album We Can’t Dance, the multi-platinum Invisible Touch, the self-titled Genesis, and much more.
In these pages, you’ll find seventeen chilling and surprising stories that will appeal to music and crime fiction fans alike, with work by Kathleen Barber, Eric Beetner, Michael Bracken, Austin Camacho, Barb Goffman, Debra H. Goldstein, James A. Hearn, Smita Harish Jain, Hugh Lessig, Adam Meyer, Tom Milani, Alan Orloff, Josh Pachter, Rob D. Smith, Joseph S. Walker, Sam Wiebe and Stacy Woodson.
