Book Overview
Introduction by Stephen King Afterword by Tobe Hooper
A LIFE IN THE CINEMA is the first book from award-winning filmmaker Mick Garris. It is a collection of eight prickly tales and a screenplay that reach under the skin of real life and reel life to take you places you never realized you wanted to go. The title story, "A Life in the Cinema" and its sequel, "Starfu**er", are set in the author's hometown of Hollywood, and provide a yellow-jaundiced look at a world you only thought was glamorous. Not all of the stories are Hollywood-based: Garris includes tales of a grandmother who is just as loving in death as she was in life, a geriatric trailer park with a randy secret, wistful and impossible love with a twist, the wrong kind of baby-love, and a deathly brush with fame. The book is capped with a screenplay by Garris, as well as "Chocolate", the story it's based on.So welcome to a dark side of Hollywood you've never seen before...
