Chord, Scott Leed's chilling debut about cursed vinyl records that open
a gateway to the land of the dead.
I told you they were real.
After his estranged father's mysterious death, Charlie Remick returns to
Seattle to help with the funeral. There, he discovers his father left him two
parting gifts: the keys to the family record store and a strange black case
containing four ancient records that, according to legend, can open a gate to
the land of the dead.
When Charlie, his sister, and their two friends play the records, they
unwittingly open a floodgate of unspeakable horror. As the darkness
descends, they are stalked by a relentless, malevolent force and see the dead
everywhere they turn.
With time running out, the only person who can help them is Charlie's
resurrected father, who knows firsthand the awesome power the records have
unleashed. But can they close the gate and silence Schrader's Chord before
it's too late?
