SOCIETY & CULTURE
Dark tales harvested from the mind of #1 New York Times bestselling author Scott Sigler. From major-release novels to podcast-exclusive content, these "slices from the Siglerverse" — each a full-length tale — will immerse you in his twisted, intertwining worlds of horror and scifi. But beware, for his work is so addictive his fans call themselves the “Junkies,” always trembling for their next fiction fix. The first hit is always free… Season 1: SLAY 1 Season 2: BOOD IS RED Season 3: SLAY 2 Season 4: DEATH IS BLACK Season 5: SLAY 3 Current season: MIX TAPE VOL. 1. Brand-spanking new dark tales from author Scott Sigler, all inspired by songs. Some stories delve deeply into the lyrics, while others merely share the same title. Some match the mood of the song, and others don't. You'll never know what you're going to get with this series, so you'll just have to listen to find out.
