A Graveyard for Lunatics by Ray Bradbury

Description: Synopsis and Commentary:

A Graveyard for Lunatics is a novel set in the Hollywood of the 1950's. The excited narrator has just been hired as a sci-fi film writer at one of the great studios. An anonymous invitation leads him to a graveyard separated from the studio by a single wall - and to the discovery of a body frozen in time and poised to climb from the city of the dead to the city of light. A bizarre mystery unfolds through a series of curious encounters with a monocled director, with an actor who has played the role of Jesus for twenty-five years, with philistine studio heads, with fanatical autograph hounds, phantoms of the sound stages, and a genius of the bedazzling world of special effects.

This is classic Bradbury writing: wildly eccentric characters, eerie suspense, and nostagic feeling are brilliantly translated into this story.
