Dark Rock Chronicles

by Marco Guadalupi

Overview

I DRC sono uno sgangherato gruppo rock che districa la sua esistenza tra tentativi di ingaggio nei locali e quotidianità, fatta di musica, furti e donne da conquistare. A scombinare tutto ci pensa un demone dal passato glorioso. “6 anime di 6 musicisti per 6 strumenti musicali”; questo quello che reclama dai ragazzi. La band è così costretta a partecipare alle epiche battle del "Torneo dei Rock Guerrieri", dove gli strumenti diverranno vere e proprie armi letali, in una lotta all'ultimo sangue tra metallari mal assortiti, improbabili coppie country e draghi… più o meno addomesticati! Peccato che i DRC non possiedano né la strumentazione adatta, né la preparazione adeguata…

Editorial Reviews

I really enjoyed reading Dark Rock Chronicles, it was fast-paced and eerie and there was lots of funny musical references. The editing was good here and no errors stand out in my memory. It was well-written with a lot of effective dialogue and there was a good level of characterisation that elevated the characters to the point where you actually care about their development. There were lots of nice images conjured up by the author's writing.

Oxford University Student - Matthew Perryman

The story is well-plotted and the colourful characters are believable and well-rounded. Even the demon has his human side. Matt discovers a lot about himself and we warm to the boys love-interests: pretty, nerdy Charlotte and the outrageous yet lovable Megan. There is plenty of music and humour and Matt’s self-referential take on events prevents the story from taking itself too seriously.
