The Fan - Bob Randall

Descriere The Fan - Bob Randall

\nOnce a famous movie star, Sally Ross is now nearing fifty and relegated to second-rate Broadway shows. But she still has her fans. One of them is her very biggest fan, and he would be willing to do anything for her - even kill. The Fan's first few letters are filled with love and admiration for his idol, but the tone soon changes and his messages become filled with deranged perversity and threats of violence. But Sally doesn't take them seriously - until it's too late. The tension mounts and the terror builds as The Fan moves closer and closer, leading up to a shocking finale.\n By turns horrific and darkly humorous and one of the few modern novels written in epistolary format, Bob Randall's The Fan (1977) was a critical hit and a major bestseller on its initial publication and was adapted for a 1981 film starring Lauren Bacall and James Garner. This new edition, the first in decades, allows a new generation of readers to discover this outstanding, one-of-a-kind thriller. \n\n A virtuoso performance in suspense, full of menace and the threat of violence. - Los Angeles Times \n\n One of the year's best constructed, panic-on-every-page thrillers. - Chicago Daily News \n\n A real nail-biter ... works to perfection as it builds to a surprising climax ... the tension is killing. - UPI \n\n Splendidly unnerving. - Saturday Review \n\n Grotesque, funny, shocking tour de force ... The suspense increases and the ending is horrible. Fan-tastic. - Irish Times \n\n The Fan should leave its audiences gasping. - Glamour \n\n \n\n An essay in terror that creeps up as softly as a mugger wearing sneakers ... almost unbearable. - Cosmopolitan \n\n \n\n
