davesachs — Fri, 21 Jul 2017 18:30:08 +0000

Charles Adler is the last honest man! He promised he wouldn’t wait 15 years to have me back on the Charles Adler Tonight radio show, and true to his word, two weeks later, he invited me back to discuss John McCain and re-visit Tragically Hip, Twisted.

Worth listening to for Charles’ incredible voice reading from the stories Scared and Locked in the Trunk of a Car.

Some Very Kind Reviews (From Readers With Great Taste)

“Taking beloved cuts from Canada’s house band and, well, twisting them up into fictional stories that shine an entirely new spotlight on some of the songs that have been the soundtrack to our lives… …established fans will enjoy the new slants to some of their favorite songs as well as the photos of Gord and the boys. If you’re new to the Hip, this is a pretty unique introduction.”

–Ottawa Life Magazine

“The range in styles, genres and emotions in the stories is incredible. Each story is its own world, and its own great read – some feel mythic, some slapstick, and some very very real and personal. A great collection of stories.”

–Matthew Mather, bestselling author of Cyberstorm and Atopia

And from Amazon’s five-star reviews:

“Beautiful. Emotive. As lyrical as the songs to which they pay homage.”

“These. Stories. Are. Amazing.”

“Sit back, put on some old classic tunes and dive into a great story!”

“Great stories and a fun read!”

Media for Tragically Hip, Twisted

My newest project, Tragically Hip, Twisted, the illustrated collection of short stories inspired by Tragically Hip songs, has gotten some nice pre-release attention. Much thanks to CTV Ottawa and Lianne Lang, and Ben Bulmer and the legendary LowDown newspaper! The book will be a fundraiser for cancer research.

Here is my interview on CTV Ottawa Morning Live.
