The Salvation of Henry Maxwell

THIS IS AN ADVANCE READING COPY

A Gothic horror movie star—out of circulation and out of mind for over forty years—now finds his celebrityhood beginning to heat up again.

Now eighty-five-years old, former mega-horror film star Henry Maxwell is suffering from severe depression and thoughts of suicide. Unforeseen obstacles and accusations compounded by serial killings mimicking some of his movie scenes add to his mental torture while he contemplates the mysterious death of his beloved wife, Lillian, some forty-plus years earlier. Shadowed by attorney Jessica Barrow serving as court appointed conservator and Professor David Grovene, an expert on celluloid films from the B-movie era, Henry now believes Lillian is calling for him from the grave. Obsessed with her ghostly presence, he must replay the unfinished final scene from his last movie that was never released, believing it holds the key that will unite him and Lillian together in eternal bliss.
