About Banshees (Unabridged)

Notorious for their satanic lyrics, drunken excess, and rumors of blood sacrifice, the Banshees shocked the world with their only album, Beat the Manshees . Death stalked their concerts - lightning, stabbings, overdoses. The world heaved a sigh of relief when the Banshees all died in a plane crash. Or did they? Forty years later, with no fanfare, they appear in a seedy Prague nightclub. Ian St. James, son of original Banshees drummer Oaian St. James, can't believe his eyes. Ian's attempts to get backstage nearly kill him. In Crowd sends hot young reporter Connie Cosgrove to cover the Banshees along with that old burn-out Ian. Ian falls hard for the stunning Connie, who regards him with a mixture of disgust and amusement. As if! The Banshees phenomenon goes viral - are they real or is it all a brilliant publicity stunt? Every time Banshees play, someone dies. Is it bad luck or part of some diabolical plan? As Connie and Ian dig into the Banshees' past they find disturbing links to black magic, the Russian mob, and an ancient Druidic sect. Death only adds to their mystique as the Banshees steamroll across North America toward a triumphant appearance at LA's Pacific Auditorium. Ian finally grasps the real reason they've returned - to tear a rift between our world and a monstrous evil - a rift created by an infernal machine built into Pacific Stadium and powered by human flesh.
