4.0 out of 5 stars A softer, gentler side of Robert Bloch., June 23, 2005
By 
With a title like "The Star Stalker" any reader familiar with Robert Bloch's work would assume that the book revolved around a psychotic stalking a starlet. The assumption would be wrong, The Star Stalker is an entirely different kind of book. It is the story of nineteen year old aspiring screenwriter Tommy Post, who rides a ten or so year long rollercoaster of personal and professional success and failure at the fictional Coronet Studios during the Silent Film Era of early Hollywood. While Tommy manages to live the dream for brief and wonderful moments, the real world constantly intrudes, and Tommy eventually begins to wonder which one is better for him - the comfortable fog of the Hollywood Dream, or the harder, but far more tangible real world. Robert Bloch steps away from the madmen and monsters and crafts a wonderful little love letter to an era that has slipped into myth - but, despite being written in 1967, Bloch's commentary on the nature of the entertainment business remains just as relevant today as it was nearly forty years ago. Fans of Bloch and/or Golden Era Hollywood will be rewarded for searching for and reading this almost forgotten book.
