The characters are rich and lush with realism as Ormsby moves us back and forth in time and through an all-too-real world filled with symphonic imagination, drawing his divided storylines closer together with a prose style that makes me think of Robert Frost crossed with Dean Koontz. Inspired by the Faustian myth of Robert Johnson selling his soul at the crossroads, only in this case, there are much loftier consequences. You're not in your average juke joint, January 1, 2013 If you love a good story that will keep you entertained this is the book for you! The flow of the story was easy to get swept away in, I found that I had a few sleepless nights while I read this book. With music being everywhere in our modern world, this isn't such a far fetched idea! But a SONG that can infect people? Brilliant and terrifying at the same time. The concept of selling your soul is not a new one. I enjoyed how the two story lines blurred into each other. How do you stop a devil of a song made to break a crossroads deal? Long Lost Song tells the story of Ricky and Michael as they battle their personal and real demons while the world reaches end times of biblical proportions. Is it the work of a curse recorded into a song by 1930's blues musician Ricky Jensen? A virus is decimating America today and Michael Decker is the culprit.
