“A Cemetery for Madmen: Another Tale of Two Cities” is the second novel in the loose trilogy that also includes “Death Is a Lonely Business” and “Let’s All Kill Constance.”
Once again, the action takes place in Hollywood, and the nearest genre equivalent—though by no means exhaustive—is a noir detective story.
Exactly at midnight, during a Halloween party at the legendary cemetery adjoining the legendary studio, the main hero (a science-fiction writer and screenwriter—an alter ego of Bradbury himself) sees the studio magnate who had died on the same Halloween twenty years earlier. Finding a way out of the labyrinth of deaths—real and imagined—is helped by an arrogant Austrian-Chinese director with an unchanging monocle, Lenin’s mummy embalmer, an everyman who looks like Jesus Christ, and the best dinosaur animator in the world.
