Music is fading from existence—forgotten, unloved, and slowly coming undone. But a haunted academic, a sharp-eyed child, and a long-lost guitar might hold the key to remembering what the world has lost.

As Tobias Staghorn digs into strange relics and long-erased sounds, he uncovers a presence that feels eerily familiar—one that sings to something buried deep inside him. Meanwhile, Music, no longer entirely human, searches for someone who can still hear.

Lyrical, romantic, and quietly devastating, The Day Music Died is a queer speculative novel about memory, identity, and the kind of love that leaves echoes long after it's gone.
