Happy October! In preparation for Halloween, I have curated a playlist for my favorite character from “The Stand”, my favorite Stephen King novel. Here you’ll find mostly 90s women with a pinch each of alternative and prog:)

Nadine Cross is a study in soulmates, of love as destiny and doom. She is beautiful, hair half black as ebony, half ghostly white, two halves of a stark tear. She is elusive, shunned, inexorably drawn to a cold lover. Like a lost flower blooming blind in the night, Nadine seeks love in evil, the unrelenting darkness. She fascinates me, and in my gothy ways, I romanticize what she stands for: eloping yet eternally yearning in the face of death.

Enjoy! -Guinevere
