Manhattan Gothic - a Tale of Friendship and Tribulation, is fourth in the Jeff Greenaway series of novellas about an eleven-year-old boy growing up in Manhattan in the 1960s.
There was a time in our history when the imaginations of boys were seized by creepy doings of the un-dead in Transylvania, that mythical realm of vampires, blood beasts, werewolves, monsters hatched in laboratories, the sundry misbegotten, and the unfortunate victims of atomic radiation.
There was a time in our history when the imaginations of boys were seized by creepy doings of the un-dead in Transylvania, that mythical realm of vampires, blood beasts, werewolves, monsters hatched in laboratories, the sundry misbegotten, and the unfortunate victims of atomic radiation.
Thus, Jeff Greenaway, eleven years old, develops an obsession with Count Zackuloff, host of the Channel 9 Friday Night horror movie. One October evening in the long-ago nineteen sixties, with his parents at a hit Broadway Show, and in hopes of meeting his hero, Jeff sneaks out of their Manhattan apartment and ventures down to the Channel 9 studios, where, to his astonishment, the Great Ghoul himself actually steps out of the elevator in the lobby... and thus begins the boy's fateful journey into the outer precincts of show biz, where the real monsters are the people who run the TV station....
