EPISODE SUMMARY:

In this episode of the Rock is Lit Season 4 Reading Series, Staci Layne Wilson reads her short story “I Don’t Wanna Go to Remus,” featured in the anthology ‘28’. The collection imagines an alternate reality where members of the infamous 27 Club, such as Jim Morrison, Brian Jones, and Amy Winehouse, live beyond their tragic ends.

The narrative explores what might have happened if Amy had given rehabilitation a chance, adding a science fiction spin to her legacy.
