Fantastic reading!, May 26, 2013
By Mary

I enjoyed how the two story lines blurred into each other. The concept of selling your soul is not a new one. But a SONG that can infect people? Brilliant and terrifying at the same time. With music being everywhere in our modern world, this isn't such a far fetched idea!
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. I just couldn't put it down!
If you love a good story that will keep you entertained this is the book for you!

Inspired by the Faustian myth of Robert Johnson selling his soul at the crossroads, only in this case, there are much loftier consequences. 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. A poetic and haunting page-turner, at times downright frightening, Long Lost Song is a wonderful read, and Stephen Ormsby is a great writer you should be keeping your eye on.

Fresh, exciting take on an old legend
By John M. Grier

A very interesting, modern take on an old legend, with a surprise twist. The story is fresh and exciting, keeping you interested. Although there were a few issues with editing, none were drastic enough to detract from the great story. I was amused, however, at the author's slip in calling the US Congress 'parliment,' perfectly understandable when you realize he isn't from the US.

Overall, the writing was excellent, leading me to believe that Stephen C. Ormsby is someone we will be seeing much more of in the future...and that's a good thing!!
