Bookish Playlist: Hunting in Bruges by E.J. Stevens

I've often heard people say that they wish life had a soundtrack.  I'm not one of those people.  All that noise would mess with my precious reading time!  I do, however, like to think that all books have a soundtrack.  If my new novel, Hunting in Bruges, had a soundtrack, it would go something like this...

Fractured Playlist

What to do when you want a complete soundtrack for a book that’s Fractured?

Hi there! I’m Erin Hayes and I’m the author of the horror novel Fractured. Fractured crisscrosses over a lot of different horror subgenres. So the playlist for Fractured is quite varied and I had a lot of fun picking out the songs. From Betty Noyes to Imagine Dragons, we’re covering a lot of ground, so put your seatbelts on!

Also, my playlist also features some covers of more famous songs, but I prefer these covers for the context of the book. So it should be interesting, even if you heard the original version before.

Ready? Here it is:
Where is My Mind by Storm Large
Hate Me by Blue October
Somebody that I Used to Know by Walk Off the Earth
The Mother We Share by CHVRCHES
Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap
Buzzcut Season by Lorde
Demons by Imagine Dragons
Haunted by Poe
POWERLESS – Acapella by Linkin Park
Baby Mine (from Dumbo) by Betty Noyes
Never Let Me Go by Florence + the Machine
Runaway by Kanye West featuring Pusha T

I actually have a Spotify playlist of this soundtrack for all of the songs! Check it out here.

My thoughts:  I love, love LOVE reading about author's playlists for their novels and some of the above tracks are personal favorites.  What do you think of the songs in author Erin Hayes' playlist for Fractured?

Fractured by Erin Hayes.

Blinded by a mysterious seizure when she was three years old, Bash Martin has managed to carve out a normal life for herself as an adult. Yet she still yearns for a deeper connection with her twin sister Lily, who has always been jealous of the attention their parents bestowed upon Bash due to her disability.

A dream vacation seems like the perfect chance to heal their relationship, but Bash soon realizes there is something terribly wrong with Lily and that her sister is hiding a dark secret. And when a supernatural fire engulfs their hotel and corpses come back to life, the sisters are plunged into a nightmarish world that threatens not only their lives, but their very souls.

Halen knows the sparks igniting under her fingertips are dangerous. She has spent her entire life trying to quell the tingly feelings that make her destroy things, but now that she is back in Rockaway Beach, where she watched her father drown, the flames have become impossible to tame.

Halen is trying to hold on, but when she is thrust into a mysterious new world, the underwater realm of Elosia, she unravels the secrets of her past and can't help but ignite. As she explores Elosia, she realizes her life has been a lie. And when those who have deceived her come to her for help, Halen must choose—walk away or unleash the magick that could destroy them all.
