About this audiobook
Rock & Roll Nightmares, Volume 1 scratched the sinister surface with tales of the 27 Club, rock ‘n’ roll suicides, plane crashes, curses, and more. Now the award-winning series continues in a standalone audiobook full of concert mayhem, a look at the “baby groupie” trend of the 1970s, Satanic panic, horrific home invasions, musicians who’ve died on stage, rockers who lived on borrowed time, gun-toting music producers, deadly DJs, and much more.
You will read about:
- Murdered rock stars, hitmen hired, and narrow escapes
- Shocking stories of rockers who’ve served time for violent crimes
- Devil worship and belief in the occult
- Folks on the fringe who took their obsessions too far
- Pyrotechnics gone horribly wrong
- Mysteries solved, graves robbed, fortunes stolen, and more!

EDITORIAL REVIEWS/AWARDS FOR THE ‘ROCK & ROLL NIGHTMARES’ BOOK SERIES
Staci Layne Wilson is the Nellie Bly of the rock & roll asylum!—Guitar Girl
[The Rock & Roll Nightmares books are] MTV's Headbangers Ball meets Tales from the Crypt—perfect entertainment for anyone who's ever played Stairway to Heaven backward to hear the mumbled phrase "Here's to my sweet Satan.” —Variety
There’s gallows humor galore but it’s tempered with Wilson’s empathy, ability to see several sides of a situation, and her obvious love of classic rock music and the people who created it. —On the Rock Block
