  • READERS' FAVORITE: SILVER SEAL CERTIFIED / 5-STAR BOOK

Here you will listen to stories about:

  • The ill-fated 27 Club and how the whole thing got started
  • Rock ‘n’ roll suicides taken out by guns, pills, and booze
  • Shocking deaths ranging from plane crashes to spider bites
  • Bands beset by tragedy, from Badfinger to The Bee Gees
  • Alarming antics covering everyone from Keith Moon to Keith Richards
  • Bizarre curses and strange, unexplained incidents
  • Love, loss, murder, death by drowning, freak fires, and more!

Rock & Roll Nightmares: True Stories, Volume 1 is a meticulously-researched, up-to-date, entertaining, and shocking book that rounds up the tragic tales from the 1960s to the present day.

Volume 2 continues in a separate book and covers the awful incidents at Altamont, underage groupies, Satanic panic, the murder of John Lennon, musicians who’ve died on stage, rock stars who lived on borrowed time, and more. (Oh—there’s a whole series of fiction Rock & Roll Nightmares books, too!)

About the Author: Staci Layne Wilson has been writing professionally about rock music for decades and is the director of the award-winning documentary, The Ventures: Stars on Guitars. She is donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book to the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund (a 501c3 nonprofit charity).
