Blood On The Tracks

Detective Gary Murdock is summoned to a basement recording studio to investigate the apparent suicide of rock star Sean Christopher, known to the world as Torn Embryo. By chance or intent, the fatal gunshot has been caught on tape. When Murdock listens to the playback, an eerie and indistinct voice can be heard in the background, casting doubt as to whether Christopher was alone at the time, or if his death was a suicide."You don’t believe in spooks, Lieutenant.

Torn Embryo wasn’t made for that.” — Wes Halverson, nightclub ownerMichael James McFarland holds a fractured lens to a dark and infamous house, from its groundbreaking by lumber magnate John Condon to the sensationalized atrocities of Beat poet Ian Ellison.
