Swamp Thing star Adrienne Barbeau visits Clayton Books this Sunday!

I have tickets to see Lucinda Williams at the Fillmore on Sunday night, and now I'll have to rearrange my plans for Sunday afternoon. Because Adrienne Barbeau—she of Escape From New York, The Fog, and Swamp Thing fame—will be signing her new book at Clayton Books. I watched Escape From New York again recently and it holds up really well. Can't wait to meet Ms. Barbeau at Clayton Books this Sunday! Information below:

HOLLYWOOD LEGEND ADRIENNE BARBEAU

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 16 AT 5:00

As a film, television, and Broadway star, ADRIENNE BARBEAU's career spans forty years.
Genre fans know her from The Fog, Creepshow, Swamp Thing, and Escape From New York. She was nominated for a Tony for creating the role of
Rizzo in "Grease" and starred as Maude's daughter in the hit series Maude and as Ruthie the Snake Dancer in HBO's Carnivale. She is the author
of the best-selling memoir "There Are Worse Things I Could Do."

Hollywood, California: three gruesome deaths within two weeks and every one of them a major star - an Oscar winner, an ingenue, and an action hero. A serial killer is working through the Hollywood A-list and celebrities are running scared. Each crime scene is worthy of a classic horror movie, and all three victims share a connection to the powerful scream queen, Ovsanna Moore. The stunning and formidable Moore is the legendary head of a Hollywood studio, as well as the writer and star of seventeen blockbuster horror films (and a few that went straight to DVD).

She's also a 500 year old vampyre... but this is Hollywood after all, and no one ever looks their age.

Beverly Hills Police Detective Peter King knows a lot about the City of Angels, but he certainly doesn't know that most of the famous actors in town are actually an established network of vampires. Or that secretive and seductive Ovsanna Moore happens to be their CEO. Moore and King may be from opposite sides of the Hollywood Hills, but both have something to gain by stopping the killer who the tabloids have dubbed the Cinema Slayer. Ovsanna must protect her vampire legacy and her production schedule, while King just wants to keep his Beverly Hills beat as blood-free as possible. But when the horror queen and the cop with the movie star looks form an unholy alliance, sparks fly and so do the creatures of the night.

A sexy, scary, and deliciously clever novel full of Hollywood glamour, behind-the-scenes secrets, and the truly bloodthirsty reality of Tinseltown. So grab some popcorn and holy water and lose yourself in the high-stakes, back-stabbing world of the Vampyres of Hollywood.

Briskly paced and full of fang-in-cheek humor, this novel is one of the more entertaining recent works of supernatural noir. - Publisher's Weekly
