The show was definitely amateurish, but also a true labor of love and an ode to all the horror hosts I'd grown up with. Over the years I'd thought about trying to bring the show back, but none of my ideas for it were very satisfying. Then one night I was playing \u003cem\u003eThe Cramps \u003c\/em\u003eduring my commute home and kind of letting my mind wander. Listening to Lux Interior tease every possible threat and innuendo out of old rockabilly lyrics put this image in my head - It looked like my old horror host character, but it was something else. Something much darker. A real monster pretending to be a fake one. This book is his story. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eTell us a little about your lead characters.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Carlson is police detective haunted by past failures and the everyday tragedies of working class crime. He's a relative new comer to the town of Dubois (\"rhymes with noise\") Iowa, but he's made it his home and is committed to protecting it. While struggling to find clues, Carlson develops a bond with video store clerk James West. James is 19 and still trapped in the small town he never belonged to. He dreams of escape...and finds it at the movies.\u003cem\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhy should readers give your work a try?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMidnight Horror Show\u003c\/em\u003e comes from untold hours haunting video stores.
