Mania - Revised Edition
Madness Heart Press is proud to present this revised edition of Splatterpunk Award-nominated author Lucas Mangum's novel about cursed screenplays, vengeful ghosts, and Hollywood death cults. A must-have for fans of B-movies, the revised edition contains the never-before-published story, "Hollywood Blood and Guts," and a brand new foreword by the author. Controversial filmmaker William Ward doesn't believe in curses, but he's happy to have the hype surrounding his newest movie, an adaptation of a notorious screenplay with a dark history. As production begins and people start dying, he learns that the curse is all too real and the vengeful ghost haunting the script is only a piece of the puzzle. At its heart lies a shadowy cult, manipulating events behind the scenes. As dark forces gather around him, Ward and his girlfriend Rachel must find a way to break the curse before it's too late.
