Johnny Gruesome

Canadian songwriter/musician team Giasone and Marcy Italiano have recorded a full length CD, “Gruesome,” to promote the upcoming horror novel Johnny Gruesome, written by Gregory Lamberson. Lamberson is the author of Personal Demons, winner of the Anubis Award for Horror, and is best known as the writer and director of the cult horror film Slime City. “The "Johnny" character is the catalyst and inspiration behind the music," says Italiano. "It is sometimes "Johnny" singing, but the singers persona shifts depending on each song's vibe and theme. Some of the songs reflect events of the novel, like the title track, but others are just fun, horror-based, hard rock." The whole "Johnny Gruesome" project is a multi-media affair comprising of the CD, an upcoming novel, short film, Halloween mask, and a comic book.
