Woo-hoo! I designed the book cover for this detailed look at the music of Friday the 13th. Written by @bmsatter. cc: @LaLaLandRecords
It's officially here! "The Music of Friday the 13th" is now available in both paperback and hardback versions on Amazon.com in the USA and the UK. This book has been six years in the making--with some of the writing dating back fifteen years! I've poured my entire heart and soul into exploring every musical detail of this beloved horror franchise. Volume 1 covers the first eight "Friday the 13th" films, four officially licensed video games, a bio on composer Harry Manfredini, and more! And yes, I do plan on proceeding with Volume 2 in the near future. 🇺🇸: a.co/d/08f1BCZv 🇬🇧: amzn.eu/d/0aMX1NNJ Order yours today and get it in time for this coming Friday the 13th. “Ki-ki-ki… Ma-ma-ma…” ⛺️🔪🛶🎶🪓 Cover design by @Saslow_Scott

I need to post a correction here to a statement I made during this episode. I incorrectly stated that some albums discussed were available from Intrada Records, but I was attributing the "Dad" album release to that label instead of to Quartet Records. My apologies!
