Marilyn Inspires Mort Castle’s ‘Light’

‘Light’, a story by horror author Mort Castle, will be published this summer in Shadow Show: All New Stories in Celebration of Ray Bradbury. (Bradbury, author of sci-fi classics such as Fahrenheit 451, died this week.)

In an introduction to ‘Light’, Mort Castle reveals how he was inspired by Marilyn. The book can be ordered directly from Gauntlet Press.

“When the story of Marilyn Monroe seized me — she was ‘the saddest woman in the world,’ said her short-term husband Arthur Miller — I set out to give her something a little better than what foolish choices, DNA tics and the Wheel of Cosmic Fortune handed her. This is my third Marilyn story. There will likely be more in the future. Perhaps one day I’ll get it completely right.”
