Every Day a Little Death: Crime Fiction Inspired by Songs of Stephen Sondheim. Seriously?. Crime Fiction Inspired by the Songs of Stephen Sondheim ? Seriously? What in the world do Sondheim and crime fiction have in common? Well, nothing…unless you remember that Sweeney Todd is the story of a murderous barber, and Assassins is the story of multiple killers and would-be killers, and Into the Woods tells the story of a wolf who eats grandmothers, and The Last of Sheila —not a musical comedy for the stage but a devious whodunnit Sondheim co-wrote with Anthony Perkins for the screen—won the Mystery Writers of America’s Edgar Allan Poe Award for the best mystery film of 1973. In Every Day a Little Death , twenty authors—some from the world of crime fiction, some from the world of the theater—use Sondheim’s lyrics as the inspiration for twenty tales of malfeasance, misdemeanor…and murder.
