Ever wondered who all those people are that are listed in the credits at the end of a movie? You know, the ones behind the scenes that no one ever hears about? This novel is about these very people, the bottom feeders and how they often live their lives check to check, waiting for the chance to work on the blockbuster that will be their big break. You have the burned-out star, the mid-tier director, the camera assistant and others that all gather to make a movie for television. Everything is turned on its head, though, when people start dying and the survivors become trapped on location due to a forest fire. If they can't figure out who the killer is and how to escape, this may be the final take for all of them.
Bottom Feeders by John Shepphird is a reasonably entertaining book about a rarely noticed segment of Hollywood: the âlittleâ people without which many of the blockbuster movies we enjoy would never come to fruition. As a writer/director himself, Shepphird has a wealth of experience from which to draw when it comes to all the behind-the-scenes people in the movie business. Bottom Feeder is an engaging look at what the lives of these people might look like if we could pull back the curtain on their lives. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and give it 3/5 stars.
