Heart-Shaped Box meets The Haunting of Hill House in Schrader's Chord, Scott Leeds's chilling debut about cursed vinyl records that open a gateway to the land of the dead.
I told you they were real.
After his estranged father's mysterious death, Charlie Remick returns to Seattle to help with the funeral. There, he discovers his father left him two parting gifts: the keys to the family record store and a strange black case containing four antique records that, according to legend, can open a gate to the land of the dead.
When Charlie, his sister, and their two friends play the records, they unwittingly open a floodgate of unspeakable horror. As the darkness descends, they are stalked by a relentless, malevolent force and see the dead everywhere they turn.
With time running out, the only person who can help them is Charlie's resurrected father, who knows firsthand the awesome power the records have unleashed. But can they close the gate and silence Schrader's Chord before it's too late?

      Music has been a go-to theme in horror from Grady Hendrix's We Sold Our Souls (2018) to Todd Keisling's The Final Reconciliation (2017). While the scenario of musical objects causing supernatural consequences is not a new one, debut author Leeds injects just enough swerves here to make it feel new. Charlie's father has passed away. He and his sisters are left to pick up the pieces, and have inherited his music shop. Readers who love vinyl records and their distinctive sounds will enjoy Leeds's tale of mystery and intrigue, as Charlie and his siblings struggle with discoveries about their father's past. While the pacing may be slow for some readers, the narrative builds to a crescendo that makes the characters regret one specific album they have played. As Charlie and his siblings rush to figure out how to undo the damage they have unleashed, vengeful ghosts lie at the heart of what they must reconcile. Recommended for fans of the show True Detective and Lovecraftian fiction.
