It is often said that life is what we make it. You can be what you want to be.

But whether that is actually true is brought into doubt by destiny and fate. Maybe life already has a path laid out for you. Ambitions will be broken, dreams shattered by the iron bondage of what will actually be; that which you have no control over.

In this volume our classic authors bring stories and characters together that are themed around music, songs and instruments of various kinds that unmask weird, wonderful and yet disturbing narratives.
