Each chapter of Octagon has a corresponding song that helped to shape it. I call these songs "Formation Songs." Here's a youtube playlist for Thread One's Formation Songs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHitYJxr2VMJBX_uBBKPw3iLJfjNHLWBu

Mother of the Spiders: Octagon

190 views3 subscribers

When a predator targets a lonely young girl, eight strangers can either fight to stop him, or face the wrath of the spirit that tied their fates together.

Is life a series of random events, or are we all connected by invisible threads of fate? Well, in the town of Gossamer Loom, the answer is complicated... and also pretty disturbing. Local legend speaks of the Weaver, a wild spirit that threads the lives of the townsfolk together. Once you pass through Gossamer Loom, your fate becomes a thread in her tapestry. Her "web."

And when a lonely young girl meets a dangerous man at the edge of town, she and seven others are suddenly drawn into the Weaver's web, connected by nightmares and uncanny coincidences that pull them into each other's lives. As their bond grows, the Octagon is formed. Leslie, Josiah, Ivy, Coop, Willy, Jane, Eli, and Caroline will either accept their fates, or suffer the dire consequences of denying the Mother of the Spiders.

Octagon has eight parts, called "threads," and there are eight chapters per thread (64 chapters total). Each chapter in Octagon has a corresponding "Formation Song." That is, each chapter has a corresponding song that I listened to for inspiration as I wrote it.

Thread One's "Formation Songs" - 1. Leslie: "Creep" by Radiohead; 2. Josiah: "Changes" by David Bowie; 3. Ivy: "Back to Black" by Amy Winehouse; 4. Coop: "I Will Always Love You" by Dolly Parton; 5. Willy: "When You Were Young" by the Killers; 6. Jane: "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins; 7. Eli: "Hey Jude" by the Beatles; 8. Caroline: "The Killing Moon" by Echo & the Bunnymen

Here's a youtube playlist of the songs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHitYJxr2VMJBX_uBBKPw3iLJfjNHLWBu
