Flickers

It all begins with a scream… Isabelle and Beatrice live a glamorous lifestyle in 1920s' Hollywood. As orphaned twins, they're the wards of Mr. Cecil, a mysterious and influential movie director who tightly controls every aspect of their lives. He turns beautiful Isabelle into a popular silent film star. With the advent of "talkies" he takes great pride in his latest effort: a horror flick that will showcase the actual sound of Isabelle's already famous scream. Throughout these same years Beatrice, disfigured by birthmarks and baldness, is forced to cover her face and spend her days hidden on Mr. Cecil's estate, away from prying eyes and photographers. Curious and clever, Beatrice has nothing but time to explore forbidden parts of the property. The mysterious appearance of scorpion hornets and the unknown fate of a newspaper man are unsettling, leading Beatrice to conclude that there's much more to their guardian than meets the eye. Beatrice's fierce loyalty to her sister slams up against a most surprising and incredible world, resulting in a page-turning novel, and horror at its finest.
