The Gig: Horror fantasy fiction by Terry Lloyd Vinson

Following extensive damage and several tragic deaths incurred from a deadly tornado, the infamous Pine Hills Penitentiary permanently closed its cell doors in the spring of 1989. Decades later, the long-abandoned prison is reopened for a one-night-only concert to be attended by former staff and inmates, the mysterious benefactor and host the son of a former inmate who vanished on the night of the deadly twister. Specifically requested as the show’s feature act is ‘80’s hard rock band ‘Death Adler’, newly reformed with faint hopes of a comeback. As the curtain lifts beneath a full and foreboding southern moon, the aged rockers, notorious for their snake tattoos, lurid song lyrics and reptilian cool, will fall victim to an encore of unrelenting terror.
