Book Synopsis Hitchcock's Partner in Suspense by : Charles Bennett
Download or read book Hitchcock's Partner in Suspense written by Charles Bennett and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a career that spanned from the silent era to the 1990s, British screenwriter Charles Bennett (1899--1995) lived an extraordinary life. His experiences as an actor, director, playwright, film and television writer, and novelist in both England and Hollywood left him with many amusing anecdotes, opinions about his craft, and impressions of the many famous people he knew. Among other things, Bennett was a decorated WWI hero, an eminent Shakespearean actor, and an Allied spy and propagandist during WWII, but he is best remembered for his commercially and critically acclaimed collaborations with directors Sir Alfred Hitchcock and Cecil B. DeMille. The fruitful partnership began after Hitchcock adapted Bennett's play Blackmail (1929) as the first British sound film. Their partnership produced six thrillers: The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934), The 39 Steps (1935), Sabotage (1936), Secret Agent (1936), Young and Innocent (1937), and Foreign Correspondent (1940). In this witty and intriguing book, Bennett discusses how their collaboration created such famous motifs as the "wrong man accused" device and the MacGuffin. He also takes readers behind the scenes with the Master of Suspense, offering his thoughts on the director's work, sense of humor, and personal life. Featuring an introduction and additional biographical material from Bennett's son, editor John Charles Bennett, Hitchcock's Partner in Suspense is a richly detailed narrative of a remarkable yet often-overlooked figure in film history.

Book Synopsis The Gumshoe, the Clone, and the Wannabe Vampires (Noir Dystopian Hard Science Fiction Mystery with a Wisecracking Gay Detective and his Wiccan Partner) by : Keith Hartman
Download or read book The Gumshoe, the Clone, and the Wannabe Vampires (Noir Dystopian Hard Science Fiction Mystery with a Wisecracking Gay Detective and his Wiccan Partner) written by Keith Hartman and published by Pyramid Press. This book was released on 2024-10-04 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Male prostitutes, vampire wannabes, and a cloned movie star . . . 2045 is shaping up to be a rough year for detective Drew Parker. What started off as a simple case involving a deaf woman and her cheating boyfriend is getting complicated. It doesn’t help that the boyfriend is one of five identical actors cloned from the frozen corpse of a dead movie star. Or that he’s up to his neck in a convoluted blackmail plot. Or that the guy is being stalked by a secret agent, some dame in a clown mask with the combat skills of a ninja. And besides, Drew has his own problem to deal with. A personal matter involving a rent boy, a privatized version of the KGB, and a vampire sex cult. Well at least his Wiccan partner, Jen, is back to help him out. He may not believe in all her psychic mumbo-jumbo, but she sure gets results. And there’s no one he’d rather have at his back in a fight. The exciting sequel to The Gumshoe, the Witch, and the Virtual Corpse. "Like its predecessor, it employs the same irresistible zaniness and wit, multiple viewpoints, high sexual content (both gay and straight) and cheerfully chaotic narrative technique. The author has produced another engagingly weird novel of the near future, satirizing everything he can get his word processor on and doing most of it extremely well." -- Publishers Weekly
