Songs are not used as simple adaptations. Lyrics are torn apart, buried, unearthed and reshaped into new horror stories. A voice becomes a ghost. A line becomes a scene. A melody becomes a grave.

The official Infernal Tales playlist collects the songs, voices and atmospheres that helped shape Issue #1..
The Sins That Would Not Die draws from the gothic horror, graveyard rock and cinematic darkness of The Coffinshakers.
The story carries that same sense of doomed men, buried secrets and shadows waiting patiently at the edge of the light.
The short story Blood Shall Follow is inspired by the haunting voice and dark country atmosphere of Rob Coffinshaker.
Snow, guilt and footsteps in the dark shape the story into a tale of cowardice, memory and the dead refusing to stay silent.
Listen to the playlist that helped shape the first issue of Infernal Tales.
Future issues of Infernal Tales will continue to draw from music, horror and the voices that linger long after the final note has died.
More artists, more songs and more buried stories will be revealed as new issues rise from the grave.
