The Silver Scream

De: Roy Merkin

Narrado por: Roy Merkin

Fresh from the cutting room floor, The Silver Scream exposes the bloodiest behind-the-scenes details of the most gruesome, shocking true-crime tragedy of our time. Part autopsy, part grisly director’s “cut,” this is the only book with a comprehensive exploration inside the mind of America’s notorious, celluloid-obsessed rock-star-turned-cinema-copycat murderer, Spencer Charnas. Bayonet Award–winning television reporter Roy Merkin is the only storyteller in possession of the journals scrawled by disgraced psychotherapist Dr. Ian Black. The Silver Scream reconstructs, with unflinching detail, how fiction became fact, art imitated death, and the most horrific movie murders by the likes of Jason, Leatherface, Freddy, Michael, and the rest became real. Merkin courageously slashes open the ghoulish mind and tortured nightmares of Spencer himself, probing deeply, with razor-sharp precision. Learn how the box office created so many oblong boxes.

Understand why this rock n’ roll heartthrob chose to stop so many human hearts.

This was ehh

Was a suggestion for a book club I’m in. Not a fan of the music this is a part of and I found the book to be just over all meh. Could never really get sense of empathy for Black and frankly could care that he was murdered I. The end. Feel bad for Nancy but she had hardly any time to be developed as a character. Sure this might make more sense if you are a fan of the album this is suppose to go with but as a stand alone product I not all that impressed.
