The book The Idol of the Flies by Jane Rice (1913-2005) is a classic of horror literature. It is the story of a child who, in an incredible series of cruel actions, persecutes those around him. The composer has chosen not to reproduce the contents of the tale with music, but to create its archaic and mysterious atmosphere. Like many other horror classics, the setting, and the atmosphere of the story are more important than the contents of the tale itself. Get your audience quaking in their boots with this horrific tale!
