"Clean up before She Comes" by Nirvana
One of the villains in my novel is a dragon lady. I think I'm going to name her Lady Briar. This song will accompany her intro.

"Immortality" by Pearl Jam
I think I like this song playing during the opening moments of Ferryman's Heralds instead of "Burn." I hesitate to use this song just because it seems like it might seem to obvious, since the whole story is about the darker side of immortality, at least partly, and using "Immortality" by Pearl Jam might just be a bit too obvious. Then again, it might not be. Anyway, I think it's good for it.

"Let You Down" by Three Days Grace
This song accompanies some of Ferryman's Heralds. I haven't yet updated it to the scene this song accompanies. It'll be a transition from one chapter to the next. This song starts when Twig is just about to fight the Scarpy and the chapter switches over to Jarvela's backstory.
It is entirely accidental that both of the songs I've put up are Three Days Grace songs. There'll be a good deal more variety, I assure you.

"Burn" by Three Days Grace Accompanies Twig's Introduction
This song plays during the opening scene of Chapter One of A Book of Ferryman's Heralds, found here: http://lithnmark.blogspot.com/2011/11/chapter-one-part-one.html
The song plays while Twig accidentally rouses the people asleep in Lockwood manor and during their search for the spook that has so upset the horses and dogs. The song continues until Twig sees his daughter, Trilby.
This song is selected partly because it's loud and metal. It's high time high fantasy is permitted a soundtrack of metal. Metal artists have been writing fantasy themed music for long enough. Also, the opening scenes of Heralds are frozen and filled with snow. A loud song about burning things is fittingly contrary to the story.
