MOVIELAND - Disappearance in a Darkened Theater | John Calendo | Magical Realism (N) (C) (F)
MOVIELAND is a quartet of four novels. The first Book (“Disappearance in a Darkened Theater”) is offered free to all subscribers. All four novels are complete. Book 1 is free. Books 2, 3, and 4 will be offered to paying subscribers. Imagine the Kim Novak character from Vertigo. She comes through the movie screen with all her drifting blonde ways and is pursued by a cinema professor teaching a course on Hitchcock. She is haunted, confused, and has no idea of the dark side of her personality. And all the while, she is being stalked by Psycho’s Norman Bates, who has fallen through the same movie screen. This is the seed for my new novel, “MOVIELAND”, which is inspired by the films of Alfred Hitchcock, particularly Vertigo, Psycho, and The Birds.
