Query: Brillant beginning then just plain disappointing.

Outdoing Stephen King's cameo in his Dark Tower series Bret Easton Ellis casts himself in the lead in his new book and finds himself a facinating character.The autuobiographical details are intriguing but as the psychological supernatural horror tale elements unfold it's all downhill from there.It turns silly and unfocused with echoes of other better creepy tales.Keen observations of living in a haze and witty moments aside the book turns into a dull mess.They say that truth is stranger than fiction and in this book maybe the writer would've been better off sticking to the truth and skipping the fiction.
