Fantastic fiction -wonderful focus on folk music, July 5 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: STRUM AGAIN? (Mass Market Paperback)
I highly recommend this series by Elizabeth Ann Scarborough. I do not have my copies to hand, as I just moved, BUT I wanted to correct the review which is showing for this book. It is for some other book and should be removed. For a good review, please see the full review of the first book in her Songkiller Series, that is THE PHANTOM BANJO. That will give one a good idea of what the series is about. In this day and age, the books are not only highly entertaining, they also offer a commentary on contemporary music, mass marketing, and popular culture which is spot on and chilling in its implications and reflection of the "real" world.

Whoop!, Mar 13 2011
By Joe Bethancourt - Published on Amazon.com
Well, Liz Scarborough did it again! Kept me up all night reading, and re-reading, a book! Damn, but she writes well (as witness her Nebula!)!
Anyhow, our heroes are back in the USA again, and seem to be doing pretty well against the ChairDevil and his minions, and are getting help from local ghosts and spirits, too.
'Course, they gotta come back into the country as illegal aliens, because of the Immigration laws against folksingers.....and it seems that musical instruments have to be -registered- with the Government, especially banjos, 'cause a guy beat his wife to death with two of them (this really happened! I have the news article stuck up on my 'fridge) .... and there ain't no more music AT ALL ANYWHERE, 'cept in singing commercials.....pretty grim indeed! Her evocation of life in the USA in this book is something that will send chills up the back of your neck, what with Neighborhood Militias and the Politically Correct people and all. The Janets Reno/Napolitano of this country would love it.
(Just as a side note about the Government's control over Life: There ain't no AA anymore, and the group that handles that kind of therapy is required to report alcohol abusers to the Government......Pfblt! I would have liked to see Bill W.'s ghost haunting those dweebs!)
Filk is mentioned in the book, and a nice point is made about egocentric performers and music feuds. That passage should be -required reading- for the filk (and folk) communities. I sure would like to have the technotoy mentioned tho...the one that records the song and then spits out hardcopy of the lyrics and score!
Good creative use of computer viruses too!
And the Great-Granddaddy of all earthquakes!
And the best ghost train you'll -ever- not see!
Had another batch of fun reading the names of songs mentioned, and humming them quietly to myself as I read.
Good hot-damn/slam bang/Big British Ballad ending, and everybody comes out OK, even Torchy...........-definitely- Murphy!
I'm hoping these three books come out in hardback someday. I sure do want them for my permanent library right beside the Manly Wade Wellman stuff.
Listmania!
