Sex and Violins: The Music of Murder Anthology MATURE CONTENT A project of Untreed Reads Publishing (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (January 2022). We provide the following information as an archive. About Everyone knows that music is the perfect accompaniment to that romantic dinner, a Netflix-and-chill evening or a romp in the bedroom. But what happens when that rhythm is to die for? Maybe there’s a violinist who will do ANYTHING to make first chair in the orchestra. Perhaps the marimba player knows just what to do with those mallets. A harpist plucks all the right strings…among other things. Where sex doesn’t accomplish the end goal, sometimes murder does. Combining erotica and mystery, this anthology bends and mixes genres into an all-new type of composition.
