One Month Until The Reanimator’s Remains

I am so excited because in a month, The Reanimator’s Remains (The Reanimator Mysteries #3) comes out in ebook and paperback. During October, I’m going to be sharing more of the story along with some fun tidbits about why this book came to be, what it’s about, etc.

Today, I want to whet your appetite by giving you some things I listened to and looked at while working on The Reanimator’s Remains.

First up, we have the YouTube playlist for The Reanimator’s Remains. I really love this playlist because the songs are so moody and fit oh so well with the creepy, woodsy ambience of this story. Compared to past playlists, it feels a bit ballad-heavy, but since this book is a slightly slower, more inwardly focused story, I think that works. Some favs:

You might have noticed there are quite a few songs from Shawn James, including “Orpheus,” “Haunted,” and “Through the Valley” among others. His deep, almost smokey voice adds such richness to his music, and of course, the subject matter of his songs is perfect for The Reanimator’s Remains. “Orpheus” is especially so.

“My Attic” which is a P!nk cover sung by Adam Lambert perfectly encapsulates Oliver and Felipe’s relationship in this book as both of them work to deal with parts of their pasts and family histories that are better hidden or left unsaid.

You might also notice songs like “The Lullaby of Woe” and “O Willow Waly,” which are meant to evoke the spookiness of the Dysterwood in book 3. If you loved the creepy cathedral in book 1, you’re going to love the Dysterwood. There’s plenty more on the “soundtrack” for this book, so I hope you enjoy it!

And I cannot give you previews without sharing the infamous Pinterest Board for The Reanimator’s Remains.

The Pinterest board has some research tidbits from this book along with my face castings for Oliver, Felipe, and Gwen. Yes, Gwen is heavily featured in this book! Gwen fans rejoice! If you’ve been wondering what The Reanimator’s Remains is about, the Pinterest board and playlist together should give you a pretty good idea of the mood and some themes. The boys are going through it.

If you haven’t preordered The Reanimator’s Remains yet, there’s still time. It comes out October 29th, 2024 at all major retailers. The Google Play preorder link will be up VERY soon (my apologies for my Google Play peeps), and paperbacks will be available closer to release day since I can’t put those on preorder ahead of time.
