About this listen
Hollywood has made a star of Todd Pickett. But time is catching up with him. After plastic surgery goes awry, Todd needs somewhere to hide away for a few months while his scars heal.
As Todd settles into a mansion in Coldheart Canyon - a corner of the city so secret it doesn't even appear on a map - Tammy Lauper, the president of his fan club, comes to the City of Angels determined to solve the mystery of Todd's disappearance. The closer Tammy gets to Todd the more of Coldheart Canyon's secrets she uncovers: The ghosts of A-list stars; Katya Lupi, the cold-hearted, now-forgotten star for whom the Canyon was named, alive and exquisite after a hundred years; and, finally, the door in the bowels of Katya's dream-palace that reputedly opens up to another world, the Devil's Country, where no one has returned without their souls shadowed by what they've seen and done.
Mingling an insiders' view of modern Hollywood with a wild streak of visionary fantasy, Coldheart Canyon is an audiobook without parallel. An irresistible and unmerciful picture of Hollywood and its demons, told with all the style and raw narrative power that has made Clive Barker's books and films a phenomenon worldwide.

depraved and inventive
avoided this for so long because I thought it was going to be a story based in fanciful sort of trappings. it is not. straight up graphic sexual horror ...the "monsters" and their origins are so interesting and perverted it's beautiful. afterlife and hollywood and the vampiric qualities of stardom and phantasm ... combination of 2 worlds done amazingly

imaginative, disturbing, wild....a good bit of satire as well. Its a long read but leaves no questions.

Embarrassingly mediocre
what I wanted: A ghost story from an old master of the macabre.
what i got: A ghost story that leans too hard into the erotica.
of note though is Frank Mullers performance.
clear, concise and easy to listen to.
I'll be honest though because of Clive Barker's strange penchant for wanting to be an erotic fiction writer, I did NOT finish this book.
28 chapters in, I felt I gave it a go.
Nor do I want to finish it.
Erotica is not my cup of tea.
