About this listen

With his signature wit, the award-winning author of Anno Dracula, Kim Newman, reimagines the lives of Raymond Chandler and Boris Karloff in this daring and horrifying tale.

Hollywood, the late 1930s. Raymond Chandler writes detective stories for pulp magazines and drinks more than he should. Boris Karloff plays monsters in the movies. Together, they investigate mysterious matters in a town run by human and inhuman monsters.

Joh Devlin, an investigator for the DA’s office who scores high on insubordination, enlists the pair to work a case that threatens to expose Hollywood’s most horrific secrets. Together, Chandler and Karloff will find out more than they should about the way this town works. And about each other. And, oh yes, monsters aren’t just for the movies.

There's a conversation in the book about Buck Rogers Vs The Lone Ranger. That kind of forum style conversation is the basis of all Kim Newman books I think 😄

He's so playful, and spins some wonderful stuff in here, and as usual makes me want to go look up old Movies and books and history and gossip, all while telling an entertaining and thoughtful mash of story.
It's a bit confusing in the middle, but it all comes clear, to the extent necessary, leaving me with entertaining questions, the answers to which will amble into my life at random over who knows how long.

The Narrator Tim Campbell, has an excellent range of voices, and a beautiful voice too, which never hurts 🙂

Glad to see a new Kim Newman

The story is a mystery with something extra to it. Boris Karloff and Raymond Chandler team up Holmes and Watson style to investigate rum goings on in Old Hollywood and encounter more than they expect. Throw in a magnificent narration from the ludicrously talented Tim Campbell and you end up with something special. Highly recommended.

Great book, incredible reader
