About the Book

Lenyard Brock was a legend of sixties cult horror. His androgynous presence graced a hundred plastic nights and cardboard coffins; his gaunt pale beauty lusted after, by legions of buxom vampires and painted damsels. Then at his peak, he retreated from film and ultimately even the world about him to live inside his own devastating schizophrenia.

Forty years later an aged recluse who claims to be the ex-actor is apparently kidnapped in Ireland. From the rotted derelict attic he's imprisoned in, Brock manages to drug and hypnotise his kidnappers.

What follows is a terrifying series of badly scripted hallucinations and events, which ultimately reveal the actual truth of the old man's real identity and causes behind his consuming madness.

About the Author

Cathal Gallagher is thirty-three years old and lives in Athlone with his wife Ursula. He has always had a healthy interest in reading all sorts of fiction and unusual biographies. He wanted to write a fictional biography of a character whose life was spent acting as someone else, so a cult horror actor seemed like a funny idea.
