About the Book

With his signature wit, the award-winning author of Anno Dracula, Kim Newman, reimagines the lives of Raymond Chandler and Boris Karloff in this daring and horrifying tale. Hollywood, the late 1930s. Raymond Chandler writes detective stories for pulp magazines and drinks more than he should. Boris Karloff plays monsters in the movies. Together, they investigate mysterious matters in a town run by human and inhuman monsters. Joh Devlin, an investigator for the DA's office who scores high on insubordination, enlists the pair to work a case that threatens to expose Hollywood's most horrific secrets. Together, Chandler and Karloff will find out more than they should about the way this town works. And about each other. And, oh yes, monsters aren't just for the movies.

Review :
"A glorious, insane, noir mash-up." -- "M. R. Carey, USA Today bestselling author" "Classic Kim Newman." -- "Jon Courtenay Grimwood, author of Felaheen" "Hard-bitten, tender, and a killer double bill for film lovers." -- "Christopher Fowler, author of Full Dark House" "If more mysteries were written like this, I'd read more mysteries." -- "Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author" "Intelligent, atmospheric, written with passion and wit." -- "Rio Youers, author of Halcyon" "Kinetically entertaining." -- "Financial Times" "Monstrously inventive." -- "Paul McAuley, Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author" "Movies, monsters, and Kim Newman's sharp wit--what a treat!" -- "Sarah Pinborough, New York Times bestselling author" "Newman successfully integrates real historical figures into a tale that's equal parts monster movie and detective noir, abounding with witches, murderous clowns, Frankenstein's monsterlike creatures, and brooding gumshoes. The result is both an homage and a glorious reinvention, perfect for those nostalgic for the pulpy genre fiction of the past." -- "Publishers Weekly" "Part film noir parody, part a delightful celebration of the heyday of Hollywood, and all imaginative epic--it's as strong, heady, and dangerous as the bathroom gin of the Prohibition speakeasys he recreates so well." -- "Robert Shearman, World Fantasy Award-winning author" "The perfect entertainment." -- "Stephen Jones, World Fantasy Award-winning author"
