What You See In The Dark

"This is a very clever book about the difference between film and the written word" Daily Mail "Munoz's atmospheric reimagining of the making of Hitchcock's 'Psycho' is voyeuristic noir worthy of the director himself" The Guardian "A stellar first novel... The author brilliantly presents the Actress's inner thoughts, while he handles the violence with a subtlety worthy of Hitchcock himself" Publishers Weekly (Starred review) "The lyrical prose and sensitive portrayal ... elevate this far beyond the typical noir" Publishers Weekly (Starred review) "How beautifully the pieces of this book fit together and how radiantly original it is" Joan Silber "In his dazzling debut novel, Manuel Munoz takes into the heart of small-town 1950s California with pathos, sensitivity, and astonishing beauty. The book is a love story, a tragedy, and a cautionary Hollywood tale all in one. Be forewarned: once you pick up this gorgeously riveting book, you won't be able to put it down until it's done" Cristina Garcia, author of The Lady Matador's Hotel
