“The Monster’s Muse – Memories of Golden Era Hollywood Horror” Novel Now Available

TheMonstersMuse.com is thrilled to announce the digital release of Bradford Tatum’s new novel set in Hollywood, in the golden age of horror.

The Phantom of the Opera. Dracula. Frankenstein. Defining gems of the gothic genre. But do you know who was the real muse behind these paragons of terror? Would you believe it was a ten year-old girl from war-defeated Germany?

“The Monster’s Muse” tells the incredible story of Maddy Ulm and her rise from the complicated shadows of Berlin’s first experiments with Expressionist cinema to the glamorous deserts of Hollywood. For Maddy has a secret. A secret that has given her unparalleled insight into the soul of horror. A secret that has an unimaginably terrible price as well. With characteristic candor, Maddy gives us both a privileged glimpse into the making of some of Hollywood’s most defining films as well a hellish and often humorous vision of her personal journey.

Bradford Tatum began his career as an actor appearing in such films as DOWN PERISCOPE and POWDER but now devotes more time to his writing. He was a staff writer for Dick Wolf on NBC’s DEADLINE starring Oliver Platt and has written and directed two award winning indy features, both of which are currently available on DVD. His latest project THE BOOK OF WATER just received a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. His novel I CAN ONLY GIVE YOU EVERYTHING won both the 2011 Next Generation Indie Book Award and the 2011 Independent Publisher Book Award.
