Paganini, Our Ghastly Guide
How did you come to lead the Danse Macabre?
My friend, I do not lead the Danse Macabre. The Danse Macabre leads me. I may play the notes, but the music comes from a power far beyond my fleshless fingers.
What was life like for you before?
It was but a shadow of a life. Music, art, love – such things existed for others, but I only had an eye for toil, and coin. It took my mortal coil being ripped away to appreciate the finer things. I was lucky enough to be given a second chance.
So what is your life – sorry, death – like now?
Majestic and meaningful! My task is to help others enjoy life’s melodies while they can, for it is a symphony too short, our time upon this stage. We are all walking towards our ends; the least we can do is hear the music and dance.
How did you come to join Macabre Spirits?
What a moment that was! Any call to share my song I will answer, and nothing encourages revelry and fellowship like a delicious dram. Joining up with these kindred souls was a no-brainer, and I should know, my head’s a skull. Also, I’ve been a big fan of Matthew Lillard since Summer Catch.
What can you tell us about what comes next?
Sorry, no spoilers.
