The Mismatch Man is hungry, you see…and Vivian’s many wounds have never healed.

This fresh installment of Scott Snyder’s Dark Spaces anthology unearths a monster in the twisted underbelly of Pennsylvania mine country. There’s a monster lurking outside of Minersville, and he’s tired of hiding. Everyone thinks Viv’s crazy. Delusional. That she didn’t see what she saw. Everyone, that is, except the locals. Vivian copes the best way she can—with a visit to the local watering hole—but it’s what happens after that changes everything. The Mismatch Man is hungry, you see…and Vivian’s many wounds have never healed. Jeremy Lambert picks up the torch of Scott Snyder’s chilling Dark Spaces anthology in The Hollywood Special, a new dark tale of intrigue and the bad things people do.

Trapped in the kaleidoscopic terror of her best and worst memories, actress Vivian Drake must make a horrible choice if there’s any hope of overcoming the worst parts of herself to save Molly, defeat the Mismatch Man, and get back to her life. Otherwise, only death and desolation await her. The epic conclusion to the critically acclaimed Dark Spaces: The Hollywood Special miniseries is here!

Deep in the dark of the mine, Vivian has found an impossible thing that has no place being there: a fully operational diner in the middle of the cavern, where the jukebox songs are all her favorites and memories abound. It’s a place where Vivian is on display, like it or not, and every buried thing comes to the surface. Here, she is forced to confront her worst memories…and the Mismatch Man himself.

We all wear masks…but Vivian has a thousand, all of them have come back to haunt her and most of them are more monstrous than you could ever imagine. The haunting memory of Vivian’s ex-husband threatens to destroy Vivian’s psyche, along with her desperate search for Molly. Lou tries to find Vivian but instead finds himself drowning in his own past, facing demons he hoped to NEVER see again.

Before Star Trek, there was Space Patrol. Science fiction television has its roots in this live, action-packed series that captured the imagination of Americans from 1950 to 1955, when space travel was just a dream. This book explores the freewheeling spirit of live TV, where anything could go wrong before millions of viewers--and often did. It spotlights (often in personal interviews) the risk-taking Space Patrol cast and crew who laid vital groundwork for television today. Included are episode logs for both television and radio shows as well as a complete guide to Space Patrol memorabilia.
