The Dark Arts Playlist



Dark Arts is set in 1976, and while I was writing it I only listened to music that the characters would be able to hear in their cars, while they were partying, or that they could play on stage in various scenes. It really set the mood, and I shared a song I was listening to on the Facebook page daily as I was writing it.



The next natural step was to put a playlist of all that music together, and I think there's a great collection of pre-disco tunes on offer. Enjoy!

  4. It was fun, and a little bit worrying at times too, to let us know the song you were listening to while writing Dark Arts. It really set the era of the book.
