Blurb
A stunning and groundbreaking investigation into the death of one of the great rock icons of our times -- revealing new evidence that points to a terrible conclusion.
On Friday, April 8, 1994, a body was discovered in a room above a garage in Seattle. For the attending authorities, it was an open-and-shut case of suicide. What no one knew then, however, and which is only being revealed here for the very first time, is that the person found dead that day -- Kurt Cobain, the superstar frontman of Nirvana -- was murdered.
In early April 1994, Cobain went missing for days, or so it seemed; in fact, some people knew where he was, and one of them was Courtney Love. Now a star in Hollywood and rock music, in early 1994 she was preparing to release her major label debut with her band, Hole, and what she knew then, though few others did, was that Cobain was planning to divorce her. Love & Death paints a critical portrait of Courtney Love; it also reveals for the first time the case tapes made by Love's own P.I., Tom Grant, a man on a mission to find the truth about Kurt Cobain's demise; and introduces us to a number of characters who feature in various theories about plots to kill Cobain. In addition, Cobain's grandfather goes public, charging that his grandson was murdered. Drawing on new forensic evidence and police reports obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, the book explodes the myths that have long convinced the world that Cobain took his own life, and reveals that the official scenario was scientifically impossible.
Against a background of at least sixty-eight copycat suicides since 1994, award-winning investigative journalists Max Wallace and Ian Halperin have conducted a ten-year crusade for the truth, and in Love & Death they are finally able to present a chilling and convincing case that each and every one of these suicides was preventable -- and in doing so, they call for this case to be reopened and properly investigated.
Ornery Owl's Mini Review
Four out of Five Stars
A well-written book. While the authors give compelling reasons why the death of Kurt Cobain should be reopened and treated as a homicide, they never directly accuse anyone. This book is straightforward investigative journalism rather than tabloid sensationalism.
The First Line/Book Beginnings
Within days of the release of our first book, Who Killed Kurt Cobain? in April 1998, the letters, calls, and e-mails began to pour in.
The Friday 56
Carroll concurs, telling him that she also thought the note sounded “terribly phony.”

I most assuredly do! Be on the lookout for The Quest for the Wizard's Key, the second book in the Tales from the Dreamlands series by Naughty Netherworld Press' own C.L. Hart. The book has a planned release date of March 17, 2023.
In the meantime, if you haven't already read Ketil and Yitzy's Adventure in the Xura Dream House, you can pick up a copy here. Expect ample portions of Lovecraftian weirdness with a twist of oddball humor.
As for our Sorceress of Steam, the one and only Lil DeVille, her hot novelette The Beasts of Hank's Wood will be included along with sizzling stories by other talented authors in the Beastly Tales anthology from Dragon Soul Press.
