Hollywood Lies


David Ambrose

"Seven suavely bewitching stories, all with a Machiavellian twist at the end: Marilyn Monroe as virtual reality's most valuable asset..a fading film producer who considers the news of his impending death as the ultimate career break...a screenwriter terrorized by the character he creates - a force that refuses to die, either on screen or off. Against a backdrop already larger than life, each scenario mixes the surreal with the supernatural in a toxic cocktail. Hollywood glitter balancing on the scalpel edge of madness." - book cover.
