Book Overview

Here is the cult classic whose central character is based on the legend of Phil Spector. So there's this record producer Dennis Contrelle who was huge in the early 1960s, creating epic trash masterpieces from girl groups and surf bands, a veritable Wagner of pop, but he retired at the end of the decade and disappeared into his mansion of tack somewhere in L.A. He's still there, still married to the singer with his biggest group, a woman effectively held prisoner by the drug-damaged Svengali who can't let her go ... But remember: "This novel is a work of fiction ... any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events, or locales, is entirely coincidental." Our narrator is a hip late-night DJ, Scott Cochrane, who grew up on the music of Dennis Contrelle, and had a teenage crush on Sharlene, the singer for the Stingrays, whose classic '60s pop album, Fuel Injected Dreams, is tied up in his mind with his first girlfriend, Cheryl, who mysteriously disappeared the summer of the album's release. When the DJ belittles one of his tunes, the producer phones in a complaint, and Cochrane is soon lured into the Contrelles' world of sadomasochistic sexual intrigue. This description may be from another edition of this product.

A Book That Really Fuels Your Imagination

By Thriftbooks.com User, March 11, 2000

I visited Rhodes together with a friend in the eighties, and bought a couple of paperbacks, one of which was "Fuel-Injected Dreams." I didn't catch on to it right away, and read it straight through only when I got back home, and that wasn't the last time I read it, and I lent the book to a friend, and we both agree that it is a stunner. So much happens in the book that it's impossible to remember every amazing turn of event...

It haunts your dreams

By Thriftbooks.com User, May 28, 1999

My sister, Liz, stole this book from our local library in 1988. She couldn't get a copy so told them that it had been lost. I first read it in 1990 because she talked about it endlessly and I wanted to understand what was so great about it. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down. I read it at home, at work, on the toilet, even (dangerously) while driving my car. I finished it on a car park on a Friday afternoon and immediately...

This Book DESERVES to be a movie.

By Thriftbooks.com User, January 13, 1998

I am currently adapting FUEL INJECTED DREAMS into screenplay form and I must say that it is the most challenging venture of my life. I love this book more than any I have read in the last ten years and must say that I am truly blessed to be in the position that I am in at this moment. Sadly, author James Robert Baker is no longer with us but I can only hope to do his incredible novel the justice it deserves. By all means,...
