Product Description
by Thomas Garlinghouse (Author)
A struggling Hollywood Golden Age screenwriter collaborates with the world's greatest playwright.
It's 1936 and Hollywood screenwriter Joe Holliday has a secret. He can see and communicate with ghosts. But because of a difficult childhood, he has long suppressed his ability. When the mercurial head of Apex Studios tasks him with writing a modern version of a Shakespeare play, Joe gradually regains his ability. Reopening himself to the spirit world brings him into contact with an old acquaintance-someone from his very distant past. This persistent, and very illustrious, spirit has a different writing task for him-some unfinished business the two had embarked upon over 400 years ago. When these two tasks ultimately come into conflict, Joe is forced to choose. It is a decision that will have far-reaching, life-changing consequences. Peopled with imagined and real characters, such as Clark Gable and Carole Lombard, and a very famous writer, Such Stuff as Dreams is part ghost story, part tale of "Hollywood's Golden Age," and part chronicle of a man's journey through the buffeting winds of love, change, loyalty and things remembered.
