Sinossi
Nel mondo di Hollywood, tra ruffiani, cascamorti, divi sul viale del tramonto e adulatori, Lisa Nova, aspirante sceneggiatrice e regista, si considera una stella nascente che può passare sopra le ipocrisie, le menzogne e gli inganni in nome della sua arte. Quando viene imbrogliata per l'ennesima volta da un produttore, decide di rivolgersi a Boro, il misterioso capo di una banda di motociclisti, per avere vendetta. Ma ottiene molto più di quanto ha chiesto. Inizia tutto con degli strani tatuaggi che sembrano conferirle poteri insoliti. Poi arrivano le allucinazioni che risvegliano oscuri e antichi culti legati ai non morti, e Lisa si ritrova a lottare contro giaguari bianchi e demoni cannibali emersi dalla tomba. Il confine tra l'incubo e la realtà si fa molto, molto sottile, fino a dissolversi del tutto in questo romanzo, miscela surreale, irresistibile e a tratti esilarante di macabro e satirico.

Recensioni
This is the worst book I've ever read. Under normal circumstances, I would've stopped reading, but I felt compelled to follow this trainwreck to its very "I have to go now, my planet needs me," ending. Bad writing. The author has a lot of hangups. He wants to have his cake and eat it, both by includ Leggi tutto
Brand New Cherry Flavor, by Todd Grimson (Schaffner Press) Billed as a novel of the occult, Brand New Cherry Flavor is an erotic gore-fest tucked between unnecessary foreplay and spooning. The story’s empathetic center is meant to be Lisa Nova, a borderline-sociopathic film school graduate who, when Leggi tutto
Brand New Cherry Flavor by Todd Grimson This is the first book I have read in the Paranormal Horror genre. And it will not be my last. I was drawn into this crazy world from the first page. The plot and characters are original and flawed but it only adds to them. Lisa is an Indie director who also had Leggi tutto
Noir is my newest love. LA noir especially. This book has all the good stuff: filmmakers, bands, sex, revenge, zombies (yes I said zombies) and all the garbage of a life lived underground. I wouldn't say I would re-read this book over and over but I keep loaning it out with my highest recommendation Leggi tutto
Some interesting horror moments, but otherwise utterly dull. Pretty much every character is the worst. There's probably some sort of social commentary intended, like Hollywood is superficial and show business folk are sociopaths, blah blah blah, but it isn't done well. I'm also not sure what Grimson Leggi tutto
this is quite possibly THE WORST book ive ever read. drop it and run. do not waste your time. no wonder the author didnt put his photo on here. imma write a book, damn.
This is the reprint due out October 2011 - feel free to begin telling your friends ;-)
Lisa Nova è alla disperata ricerca del successo. Sfruttando fino all’osso la sua immagine, nonostante la sua giovane età non c’è azione che non abbia intrapreso per cercare di sfondare a Hollywood. Quando però capisce di essere stata sfruttata dall’ennesimo produttore senza scrupoli, decide di rivol Leggi tutto
Nyeh. Grimson tries too hard to be outrageous but by the end I was asking myself, why did I bother? And the title has nothing whatever to do with the content, by the way. I figured it was going to be an insider's account of the Cola Wars.
