In the kingdom of the damned that is 42nd Street, there's no lowlier subject than Andy Lew. An unrepentant junkie, voyeur, and degenerate, he's only tolerated by the more dangerous men around him because he keeps the projectors at the Colossus theater running on time, entertaining them with the most extreme horror cinema money can buy. There's something unique about Andy, though. He owns a movie. It's the only one of its kind. No one knows who made it. Only he knows where it came from. The woman it stars is beautiful beyond imagination--and the images it depicts are more nightmarish than the darkest depths of Hell. The beasts of 42nd Street will do anything to possess it, but there's something they don't understand. Andy loves the woman in the movie--and he'll go to any lengths to protect her. A savage love letter to 70s exploitation cinema and a biting satire of toxic fan culture, Beasts of 42nd Street makes horror dangerous again as it ventures into the mind of a psychopath like no other-- one that will have readers recoiling even as they keep coming back for more.… (mehr) |

Epigraph (Motto/Zitat) |
Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. It was the jackal - Tabaqui, the Dish-licker - and the wolves of India despise Tabaqui because he runs about making mischief, and telling tales, and eating rags and pieces of leather from the village rubbish-heaps. But they are afraid of him too, because Tabaqui, more than anyone else in the jungle, is apt to go mad, and then he forgets that he was ever afraid of anyone, and runs through the forest biting everything in his way. Even the tiger runs and hides when little Tabaqui goes mad... - Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Book This inhuman place makes human monsters. - Stephen King, The Shining There's something inherently wrong with the human personality. - Stanley Kubrick Protect me from what I want - Jenny Holzer "How comes it, then, that thou art out of hell?" "Why, this is Hell; nor am I out of it." - Christopher Marlowe, Dr. Faustus "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss" - John Milton, Paradise Lost | |
