Описание:
When Truman Morrow decides that he's had enough of the movie business, a near-death encounter with a mysterious stranger reveals that this former Hollywood insider has been chosen for a dangerous mission, one far more important than fame and fortune.
Six Devils In The San Fernando Valley, is a novel about the mysterious land behind the Hollywood sign. From the historic mission of its patron saint, to the soul-crushing chief executive of a movie studio, Truman Morrow romances and fights his way through the dark shadows of the valley, weaving danger, love, mystery and history into a romantic thriller that will leave you questioning the very foundations of the entertainment business.
"Six Devils In The San Fernando Valley is one of the best books ever written about Hollywood simply because it does what others haven't. It shows us that the road to hell is paved with gold and lined with movie studios and talent agencies. Ernie Mannix's novel belongs on my bookshelf right between Budd Schulberg's The Disenchanted, and C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. It's that good " - Michael McGruther, screenwriter of Tigerland
"If F. Scott Fitzgerald and Patricia Highsmith had a child, it would've been an author just like Ernie Mannix. His novel Six Devils In The San Fernando Valley is the singular combination of both styles and will forever change your perception of life in Hollywood." - Rick Tumlinson, writer, The Huffington Post
A word from the author:
What would you do if one day you were chosen to help clean up a dirty town, a town infamous for destroying souls and robbing countless young dreamers of their better years? I'm talking about Hollywood, California and this is where Truman Morrow, the hero in my debut novel, Six Devils In The San Fernando Valley, begins his incredible journey into the depths of the entertainment business.
Hollywood is filled with tales of bad behavior, ruined careers, suicides, and overdoses-but these are all just the ugly dividends of a much deeper problem, a problem both terrifying and fascinating at the same time-a problem that makes one hell of a good setting for a romantic thriller.
What if show business is in fact an evil enterprise? What if evil spirits are thriving on human misery like vampires thrives on blood? Is it then too hard to imagine that they've built an entire industry around keeping themselves fed?
This is the world Truman encounters and what he discovers will startle you. - Ernie Mannix

Описание: Shirley Love might have spent his life as an obscure welder, struggling to raise his family in West Virginia, but a performance in church one Sunday changed his life. As Love sang a little-known hymn, a worshipper-a radio station owner-was impressed with the teenager's voice and invited him to audition as an announcer.
Although reluctant, Love tried out and landed the position. From there, he moved into fledgling television and began to anchor a raucous local event: Saturday Night Wrestlin'. The show, always completely scripted, triggered passions ignited by the demeaning talk, revealing the worst in human emotions. Through it all, Love kept his demeanor, dodging a hail of soft drinks and rotten vegetables hurled by irate fans at the wrestlers.
Love's popularity thrust him into West Virginia politics, attending National Democratic Conventions as a delegate and gaining a gubernatorial appointment as a state senator-a post to which he was reelected in every subsequent election cycle.
Author Mannix Porterfield chronicles the engaging details of Shirley Love's life, through the eyes of Love, his family, and his colleagues. Love's life proves that talent, desire, and energy can propel a shy individual with a provocative name from obscurity to success.
Описание: For readers of Atul Gawande and Paul Kalanithi, a palliative care doctor's breathtaking stories from 30 years spent caring for the dying. Modern medical technology is allowing us to live longer and fuller lives than ever before. And for the most part, that is good news. But with changes in the way we understand medicine come changes in the way we understand death. Once a familiar, peaceful, and gentle -- if sorrowful -- transition, death has come to be something from which we shield our eyes, as we prefer to fight desperately against it rather than accept its inevitability. Dr. Kathryn Mannix has studied and practiced palliative care for thirty years. In With the End in Mind, she shares beautifully crafted stories from a lifetime of caring for the dying, and makes a compelling case for the therapeutic power of approaching death not with trepidation, but with openness, clarity, and understanding. Weaving the details of her own experiences as a caregiver through stories of her patients, their families, and their distinctive lives, Dr. Mannix reacquaints us with the universal, but deeply personal, process of dying. With insightful meditations on life, death, and the space between them, With the End in Mind describes the possibility of meeting death gently, with forethought and preparation, and shows the unexpected beauty, dignity, and profound humanity of life coming to an end.
