Fifty Cents for Your Soul

Denise Dietz. Delphi Books, $22.95 (288pp) ISBN 978-0-9663397-5-8

Ambitious Hollywood ingenue Frannie Rosen lands a part in a horror movie directed by the celebrated (and reviled) Victor Madison, but gets more than she bargained for in the demonic possession department when a violent and slutty real-life doppelganger takes over her body. The over-the-top, irreverent serving of horror and Hollywood noir in Fifty Cents for Your Soul is something of a departure for Dietz (Footprints in the Butter, etc.), but who can resist a book that opens with ""The woman who straddled Victor Madison had hiccups""?
