I'm reading this scary novel by Clive Barker. Actually, I'm about 100 pages in and nothing much has happened so far. The protagonist, whose name is the same as a boyhood friend of mine, Todd Pickett, had plastic surgery that went horribly wrong. His agant is trying to keep him away from the public because he's a big movie star and the surgery has messed up his face. They think that he'll heal, but they hide him away in this old mansion up in the Hollywood Hills. My guess...the place is going to be haunted. I've read two or three other novels by Barker, and his novels are usually pretty scary.
