A novel by IAN REID


THE FAME GAME IS A KILLER…
Sex, celebrity, murder…
‘You may call this a confession if you like, but don’t call
it an apology…’
So begins the outrageous TRUE story of Vince Poll, an
ambitious killer working his way up the greasy pole on the soap opera, Lark
Lane. Vince joins the show as a lowly
runner, but he has big dreams; dreams that don’t include any competitors. He
plans to make it to the very top, by any means necessary. He kills for advancement and he kills for
fun, but most of all he kills for love.
The unrequited love of his life is soap legend, Anita
Chantelle. He has to have her…
…at any cost.

I Am Not What I Am...

Iago:         ...not I for love and duty,
But seeming so, for my peculiar end.
For when my outward action doth demonstrate
The native act and figure of my heart
In compliment extern, ’tis not long after
But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve
For daws to peck at. I am not what I am.
 
                                           1.1.  Othello,  William Shakespeare
 
With these words Iago defines psychopathic personality disorder in iambic pentameter.   Vince doesn't express himself in these terms, however there is nothing in Iago's sentiment that he would disagree with.   Iago is Vince's hero and role model.  Like Iago, Vince displays as Coleridge observed: 'the motive hunting of motiveless malignancy'.  Coleridge; great poet, bad script editor.  He didn't understand psychopathy.

TELEVISIONLAND: The movie!

Very proud and excited to announce that TELEVISIONLAND is to be made into a film!  JODY LATHAM will star as Vince and KIRSTY MITCHELL will...
