Description:
The classic novel of sexual obsession and murder amid the
star-making machinery of Hollywood in the 1950s.
"She was as white as marble, but she looked
lovely. Her hair was splayed out in fine
strands of gold, and her lips were bright, rich red, and there was a green
eyeshadow on her eyelids. You could see
that because her eyes were closed and she was lying very still. She was lying still and she wasn't
breathing."
With its portraits of washed-up directors, jaded leading
men, and a ruthless cop whose one-track mind leads straight to a cyanide
pellet, I Wake Up Screaming is a magnificent thriller by a Hollywood
insider whose screenplays included Lady in the Lake and I, Mobster.
