Item description from seller

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Carme Zamora wakes in a glass house above Mulholland Drive wearing a slip that isn't hers, in a bed she doesn't remember, with the whole basin of Los Angeles burning quietly below. On the nightstand: a script bound in brass brads, her name penciled on the cover in handwriting that is almost her own. In the driveway: a green 1968 Mustang fastback whose dashboard clock is stopped at 3:00.Every night the road calls her down. And every night there is a woman waiting: a starlet from 1949 with broken teeth, a singer from the canyon years, a girl the city swallowed and never named. Seven women the road has taken since it was first paved, stitched into something that drives between 3:00 and 3:17 a.m., the seventeen minutes no one is allowed to remember.Carme has seven nights to learn what the road wants from her, and what it has already begun to make of her.The City Lights Below is a hypnotic literary horror novel about the city that runs on the women it consumes, and the road that keeps its own counsel. Told across seven nights in a house that was built to be looked out of and never into, it moves between the Hollywood that sells itself and the one underneath, where a screen test from 1949 and a canyon-party recording from 1967 are still playing to a room that will not empty. It is a ghost story in the old sense, a story about being claimed, and about the small, exact price of being remembered by a place that remakes everyone it keeps.For readers of Shirley Jackson, Paul Tremblay, and Silvia Moreno-Garcia's Mexican Gothic, and for anyone who has driven Mulholland after midnight and felt the city looking back.…
