Brian buys an antique mirror used for the esoteric art of mirror gazing. What Brian sees in the mirror frightens him and sets the scene for his untimely death. Was he murdered? Find out in the sequel to Rubber Soul, Painted Black. Praise for Greg Kihn "Rubber Soul is a magical mystery tour de force by Greg Kihn, a rocker who obviously has a way with words as well as music. His imagined story about the Beatles is fast-moving, full of twists and tension, and musical nuggets and insights. Great story-telling set to a Fab-four beat." -Ben Fong Torres, former senior editor of Rolling Stone "There's no one more qualified to write a rock-and-roll novel than Greg Kihn. He's the real deal and at his Kihntillating best in this book." -Guy Kawasaki, former chief evangelist of Apple "Rubber Soul captures what Rock-n-Roll is all about-and Greg Kihn would certainly know This nearly-true story of the Beatles is pure magic and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough." -Eddie Money "I've known Greg Kihn for decades and he's never ever run out of amazing tales, stories, and recollections. I never knew which ones were real, true, folk-lore, imagined, or of pipe dreams, Kihn-a-sized. It's all to his readers' benefit he writes fiction." -Rick Nielsen, Cheap Trick NBC called Greg Kihn "Rock's True Renaissance Man." His career stretches from the dawn of punk and indie rock to the discos of the 1980s to the glory days of MTV. As a pioneer with the legendary Beserkley Records, he helped write the book on revolutionary West Coast rock 'n' roll. In the 1990s Greg turned his attention to writing fiction. He published four novels and a handful of short stories in various anthologies, and edited a compilation of original fiction by famous musicians. Horror Show was nominated for the Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel.
In my view this is a realistic extrapolation about the life of Brian Jones. Well written and saturated with the atmosphere of the times it will entertain you as well as give you some historical perspective.
I have read a couple other books by Greg Kihn and this is by far my favorite. Compelling read that kept me up late at night. Wish he'd write more like this.
