About the book:
Dr. Val McCormick runs a successful movie makeup effects business, Splatter House FX. But there's something a little different about the life-like stunt doubles he mutilates on camera. They're a little too life-like. Dead bodies, in fact--re-animated for those spectacular few moments. And now that he's got his big break on a huge Hollywood movie starring William Katt and Tyne Daly, Val will go to any lengths to ensure his gruesome money shot is the most realistic ever put on film. What could possibly go wrong?
Quotes:
Excerpt:
“Wait,” he whispered to himself. “Wait. She’s moving, she’s moving. I told you, I told you. It’s just a matter of Tyne…time. We’re in business.”
A twitch of the wig, a drop of the mask—the head was bowing! He threw a celebratory fist then gave Jesus the thumbs up. The serum would do the rest. Having enlarged any clogged arteries, it would enable the transfused blood to course through the brain and the body, energizing the limbs. It was a matter of time. In less than a minute, she had to be able to stand unsupported. The serum would hurt like hell, but the ordeal would soon be over. And after all, Val McCormick had given her this second life; taking it away was his prerogative. This was art. What was a little un-dead suffering compared to the immortality of his masterpiece?
The greatest practical effects shot of all time. But she was still twitching.
