    About this ebook

    It's not the coin you pay to get into the sideshow that bothers you, it's being fooled by the hucksters. But if you go the carnival thinking you're prepared for hoaxes and braced against trickery, you're ready game for the master showman, because he knows you better than you think. Even so, it's not him you have to be afraid of. Is it the show? Or is what you don't know about yourself?

      The Duplex

      Jun 9, 2020

      I moved to Los Angeles to sing. When was this? August? June? I was twenty-nine, and those were shapeless months, when the days blended together and I refused to pull them apart. My landlord was unusually close to her adult son. His name was Jeffrey,

      It is August of the year 2000, and I am cold. I know the sun is shining outside, but there are no windows in the courtroom. The lighting is subdued, darker in the back where spectators sit and lighter in the front where tragedies play out—like a the
