Heaven Became Hell ... Hollywood Be Thy Name!
Author: Brent David Schroeder
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781477481387
Category : Rock musicians
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This story is based on 10 years of my life as a Hollywood musician and my secret life as a top shot-caller in the gritty Hollywood underworld. The four of us set out for Hollywood on September 1st, 1987, with dreams of becoming the next Motley Crue. We had the talent and the looks, and vowed to each other to avoid the lure of drugs. Unfortunately, Hollywood had other plans. When the record deal fell through and I was on my last dime, I found myself being dragged into an underground world of corruption. Before long, I was working for organized crime, doing business deals with outlaw motor cycle gangs, staying one step ahead of the FBI, and losing touch with the world I had once known. My guitar cases were now filled with deadly weapons. Love, betrayal, Wicca, crystal meth, and a crippling blast from a sawed-off shot gun would all have roles in bringing me to my knees. Many of the people and events in the story have been the focus of local and national new programs, though I have changed most of the names. This book includes my adventures with dozens of celebrities, from famous musicians to Hollywood actors and known underworld figures. It goes into great depth explaining how methamphetamine made the jump from the biker culture to the Hollywood nightlife and then via the Internet to the rest of the country.

Azathoth: Ordo ab Chao
Author: Aaron J. French
Publisher: JournalStone
ISBN: 1685101011
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
The first in a series of anthologies devoted to the Lovecraftian gods, Ordo ab Chao follows the highly successful The Gods of HP Lovecraft (published in 2015 by JournalStone Publishing). We begin our series with the primal origins and the god Azathoth, who represents primordial chaos in the Lovecraftian Mythos. H.P. Lovecraft described Azathoth as a demon king ruling from a dark throne in the middle of the fiery cosmic void, out of which all created things emanated. Surrounding this orbiting spiral of infinite chaos and creation sounded the repetitive notes of an incessant flute, a reference to the Greek god Pan and the symbol of chaos behind the orderliness of nature. Taking this as our departure, the stories in this volume approach Azathoth through the concept of “order out of chaos” (or Ordo ab Chao in Latin). Ordo ab Chao includes new work from some of the most talented and respected authors in horror and dark fantasy, featuring stories from T. Kingfisher, Ruthanna Emrys, Adam L. G. Nevill, Kaaron Warren, Brian Evenson, Donald Tyson, Richard Thomas, Richard Gavin, Matthew Cheney, Erica Ruppert, Jamieson Ridenhour, Maxwell I. Gold, Lena Ng, Nathan Carson, Samuel Marzioli, Lauri Taneli Lassila, Akis Linardos, and R. B. Payne.
