Description
Heart-Shaped Box meets The Haunting of Hill House in Schrader's Chord, Scott Leeds's chilling debut about cursed vinyl records that open a gateway to the land of the dead.
I told you they were real.
After his estranged father’s mysterious death, Charlie Remick returns to Seattle to help with the funeral. There, he discovers his father left him two parting gifts: the keys to the family record store and a strange black case containing four antique records that, according to legend, can open a gate to the land of the dead.
When Charlie, his sister, and their two friends play the records, they unwittingly open a floodgate of unspeakable horror. As the darkness descends, they are stalked by a relentless, malevolent force and see the dead everywhere they turn.
With time running out, the only person who can help them is Charlie’s resurrected father, who knows firsthand the awesome power the records have unleashed. But can they close the gate and silence Schrader’s Chord before it’s too late?

Schrader's Chord by Scott Leads is a chilling debut novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The story is about cursed vinyl records that can open a portal to the land of the dead, and the horrors that follow when a group of friends plays them.
Charlie Remick returns to Seattle after his estranged father's death and finds himself in possession of the keys to the family record store and a black case containing four ancient records. When Charlie and his friends play the records, they unleash an unspeakable horror that haunts them and the dead seem to be everywhere. The only person who can help them is Charlie's resurrected father, who knows the power of the records.
Leeds masterfully weaves together horror and mystery in this spine-tingling tale. The tension builds with each chapter, and the characters' fear is palpable. The story is well-written, and the pacing is perfect, making it difficult to put down.
Schrader's Chord is a modern horror masterpiece that will delight fans of Heart-Shaped Box and The Haunting of Hill House. The book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a good scare and a well-crafted horror story. I highly recommend it.
