Songs on Tap

create the Spotify logo with a transparent background with words that say _Songs on Tap_

Music is universal. A soundtrack to life. Just like cryptids and craft beer. When I'm writing a story, I think about the music from that region and songs that match the vibe of the hunt. Each book gets its own curated playlist that captures the atmosphere, the tension, and the adventure.

​

These playlists aren't just background noise. They're part of the experience. Whether it's bluesy garage rock for a Southern swamp encounter or haunting folk for a Northeastern forest investigation, the right soundtrack brings the story to life.

​

Check out the playlists below, and if you think a song should be included, let me know on our Discord server. Music, myths, and malts. It all comes together.

BONUS: Lizard Man: Dirth South Dispatch

.

This one does not appear in the book, but it is a favorite period of music for me: Atlanta Dirty South Pure late-90s Atlanta Dirty South bounce: trunk-rattling bass, slick production, and hustler anthems from the golden era when the South took over hip-hop.
