Fretting about the filming, he hides in an L.A. hotel from imagined adversaries shortly before the premiere. Michael-David goes deeper into his own head, believing that his curse is intensifying and he must live alone to avoid cursing others yet he links up with a sexy skateboarder who wants to mix up his dangerous chemicals in Michael-David\u2019s room.\u00a0Yet the actor finds Tim a refreshing change because he doesn\u2019t acknowledge the actor\u2019s fame.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The book focuses mainly on their time in the hotel and examines Michael-David&#8217;s attempts at trying to figure out Tim. Tim&#8217;s refusal to participate in sexual acts only arouses Michael-David more as he also imagines what is happening with his employer, Chris, and Chris\u2019s wife, Diana.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Filled with dark yet witty dramatic scenes, the book details explorations of being lost in one\u2019s own thoughts and seeking to find one\u2019s true self by examining the actions of others, including a graphic erotic scene.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is a valuable book for fiction collections.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Reviewer: s.n.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel Allen Cox.\u00a0\u00a0Basement of Wolves.\u00a0Arsenal Pulp Press, 2012.
