From the Inside Flap
rks in Manhattan's "Television City" as head writer for an ordinary soap opera. But when his TV bosses decide to use brand-new virtual reality technology to produce the most involving drama series ever, Munn signs on to revolutionize the TV industry. In his spare time, though, he creates another virtual world: "Munn's World." It's set in gaslit 1850s New York City, where a vicious serial killer called the Fishman is disemboweling victims in the Bowery. But now, something has gone terribly wrong. It's unscripted, it's terrifying, but the Fishman has somehow escaped from Munn's World--and followed Alex into the present.

First Edition
Seller: Riley Books, Oswaldtwistle, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Fine. First British Paperback. Clean, unread copy - as new. Divorced, disillusioned and drinking too much, television writer Alex Munn is on the edge. For two years he's been working on the ultimate drama series, a ratings-winning schlockfest of sex, adventure and violence that uses Virtix, a virtual reality technology so good the viewer won't be able to tell the difference between real life and Real Life, the new show. To get away from it all, Alex has written an altogether darker story of his own: a Virtix program he calls Munn's World. It depicts New York in the 1850s, complete with horse-drawn carriages and its very own serial killer - the Fishman - who prowls the gas-lit, poverty-stricken streets, disembowelling his victims. His nemesis is a lone cop called Alex Munn. What happens next is impossible, unscripted, and utterly terrifying. For the Fishman has somehow escaped his virtual domain and followed Alex into the present, turning his world into a living nightmare. Book. Seller Inventory # 002173
