Summary

From Chuck Tingle, author of the USA Today bestselling Camp Damascus, comes a new heart-pounding story about what it takes to succeed in a world that wants you dead.

Misha is a jaded scriptwriter who has been working in Hollywood for decades, and has just been nominated for his first Oscar. But when he's pressured by his producers to kill off a gay character in the upcoming season finale—"for the algorithm"—Misha discovers that it's not that simple.

As he is haunted by his past, and past mistakes, Misha must risk everything to find a way to do what's right—before it's too late.

After a fragmented start this shaped up to be a enjoyable delve into a possible entertainment future. But I was left with questions.

Initially I wasn't too pushed on this, and it admittedly took me a few tries to get into it.

I thought a half-in-the-closet gay writer from rural USA making his way in Hollywood was so uninteresting and bland, but I'm glad I stuck with it. Misha is a really complex character, and I can't even speak about the plot without ruining it, as it goes places I genuinely would have never predicted.

If you're fan of horror, LGBTQ+ stories (that isn't the standard trope of course), sci-fi, weird stuff, and well-written characters and motives, you can't go wrong.

The "script" chapters in the audiobook however were awful, it sounded like they were being read by secondary school actors from the inside of a wardrobe. Thankfully the main narrator who does 90% of the book was fantastic.

Fantastic and unexpected

This was a really interesting listen. A bit of an ‘f*** you’ to the way Hollywood considers LGBTQIA characters, with some funny and scary bits. There’s also some genre bending bits that are really interesting. A great read if you want to have a bit more defiant queer joy!

A really quirky LGBTQIA Hollywood novel

Chuck Tingle’s reputation and story titles cast a long shadow over what I was expecting. But I was blown away by the quality of his writing. He’s warm, pacy, terrifying, sharp, insightful. I loved this book about gay erasure in Hollywood in both its industry and more terrifying implications. Listen to it now!
