BOOK DESCRIPTION

Imagine you worked at a company in which every other week, people you knew were dying. But not just dying: being gruesomely murdered. That is the watercooler topic of the month for workers at Showbiz Studios, once the legendary home to the Hollywood silent movie era.

Meet Christian McCorkle, a thirty year-old man-child obsessed with living each day at work as if it were a TV show. Christian only wants a happy workplace for himself and the clerks he supervises in the studio’s mail department.

Unfortunately, a serial killer, known as the Whistler, has found a plethora of victims on the massive studio lot—executing each one in a grisly manner. If that weren’t enough, a secret cult holds meetings on the premises; ghosts walk the corridors; and Christian’s least favorite employee, the always-tardy Mu-Chin Chin, may be a spy for the evil head of Human Resources.

It’s up to Christian and his employees, who call themselves The Unfortunates, to tackle these sinister goings-on before one of their own falls victim to one of the various maniacs who threaten them. Their efforts might even earn these mailroom clerks long overdue raises…if they can survive.

PREVIEW THE OPENING CHAPTER!

Dear Friends,

At first I was as dismayed as you by the high price of my book. But then I realized, you pay as much for a meal at crap like Sizzler that you're just going to poop out later...and you'd pay that much for a play like Death of a Salesman (I hated the Brian Dennehy version) or a musical like the truly awful Bombay Dreams.

But A BOOK is something you can keep and cherish forever. Or even resell. Or re-gift.

So...embrace the expense. It just might save your soul.

Yours truly,

C.A. SMYTHE
