A cynical “fixer” for a silent-film studio must confront the shadows behind the bright lights in this noir-tinged short story by New York Times bestselling author Garth Nix.

It’s business as usual on the set of another cheap sword-and-sandal production by Pharos Pictures—until the lead actress suddenly falls into a deep, mysterious sleep. Jordan Harper can talk down high-strung starlets and knock sense into stuntmen, but this…this is the kind of uncanny problem that he’d usually bring to Mrs. Hope. Unfortunately, the preternaturally capable secretary is on a business trip with the studio head. Harper must get to the bottom of the mystery on his own before another cast member succumbs—or worse, they blow the budget.

Garth Nix is the New York Times bestselling author of multiple science fiction and fantasy novels including the Old Kingdom series, The Left-Handed Booksellers of London, and several children’s and middle-grade books. His accolades include the Aurealis Award, the ABIA Award, the Ditmar Award, the Mythopoeic Award, and the CBCA Honour Book.

REVIEW:

Quite an interesting short story.

Not an average ghost story or story of possession either. I loved the thespian aspect, it was neat. The beginning threw me for a loop as I didn't know what time we were in and then I realized they were acting. It got really cool from there and then it was over.

I liked this story, and it was also my first time reading from this author. Won't be my last!

4.5/5

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
