Produktbeschreibung
From the shadows of Berlin's first experiments with expressionist cinema to the glamorous deserts of Hollywood, this sweeping, stylish love letter to the golden age of horror cinema tells the wonderful, tragic story of Maddy Ulm?a young girl with a secret that has given her incredible insight into the soul of horror . . . At a terrible price. A young girl awakens in a hastily dug grave?vague memories of blood and fever, her mother performing a mysterious ceremony before the world went away. Germany has lost the First World War and Europe has lost millions more to the Spanish flu epidemic. Maddy has not only survived but has also changed. And at a studio in Berlin, Maddy discovers her true calling: film. With her intimate knowledge of fear, death, and realms beyond the living, she practically invents the modern horror genre on the spot. Before long, she travels to California and insinuates herself in Hollywood as the genius secretly behind The Phantom of the Opera, Dracula, and Frankenstein. And yet she must remain in the shadows?a chilling apparition suspended eternally between worlds. Clever, tragic, and thoroughly entertaining, Only the Dead Know Burbank introduces readers to one of the most unique, unforgettable characters in fiction.
