What You See in the Dark

A doomed love story unfolds alongside the production of Psycho in 95 s Bakersfield, California Muñoz's debut novel tells the story of Teresa, an aspiring singer too far away from Los Angeles to share the city's glamour. In Dan Watson, the most desirable man in town, she believes she has found someone to help her realize those dreams. But when a famous actress arrives from Hollywood with a legendary director in tow, local gossip about Teresa and Dan turns to speculation about the celebrity visitors there to work on what will become an iconic, groundbreaking film of madness and murder at a roadside motel: Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. Framed by a foreword from film critic Charles Taylor, Muñoz's haunting tale reflects 'the slow winding down of everything that once seemed certain.'
