About This Book
All contributor proceeds donated to the California Community Foundation's Wildfire Recovery Fund Hollywood is a place full of dreamers-from the wide-eyed actor hoping to land the role of a lifetime to the hard-working writer trying to sell that breakout script. The lowly production assistant eager to finance their first movie to the craft services worker aspiring to be the next Spielberg. Whoever they are, these people have one thing in common-they are desperate to bring their dreams to fruition, hustling for opportunity, and willing to do anything to get to the next rung on the ladder. Legal or not. In Hollywood Kills, you'll find shocking short fiction about the dark underbelly of show business-written by those who know it firsthand. They'll take you deep inside their cutthroat world, with sixteen stories featuring a producer, sitcom writer, character actor, entertainment lawyer, sound mixer, background actor, aspiring actor, stuntman, casting director, soap opera star, true crime writer, editor, director, production assistant, set caterer, and screenwriting team. It's a close-up look at the dark side of ambition with an all-star cast of schemers, dreamers, killers, and con artists...and their stories will stick with you long after the credits roll.
