A 1990s Indie Music Business Urban Fantasy
Are indie band Beam the next big thing?
Their record company thinks so - they’ve sent the band away to a pricy residential recording studio for a month to record their next album. However the large Victorian building in the wilds of Devon has an unusual history.
When singer Wendi starts experiencing odd things she can’t be sure whether they’re a symptom of the strange experiences she’s been prone to all her life or something to do with the very ground on which the studio stands.
She’s always been a bit of a weird one but when the persona she adopts when on stage starts taking on a life of its own it becomes difficult to tell where she ends and the façade begins…

Chris Limb is a writer and designer based in Hastings, UK.
After many years hovering on the periphery of the music industry – originally just going to gigs but eventually graduating to selling T-shirts and badges plus operating the lighting rig for bands, running fan clubs and eventually playing in bands themselves – in 2011 they published a pop memoir "I Was A Teenage Toyah Fan", which went down well with its core audience, received good reviews and continues to sell at a steady rate to this day.
Chris’s debut novel "Comeback" was published by Unbound in 2021 and was described by the British Fantasy Society as “educational and humorous, but always entertaining … a great read.”
A number of Chris’s short stories have been published over the past decade; some of which have been reprinted in the collection "The Demon Face and other stories".
