What to expect inside: Tarantino expands the film’s world with deeper interiority and added scenes that enrich familiar faces and newly realized details. The novel follows four central threads:

• RICK DALTON – Once the star of his own TV series, Rick is now the tired villain-of-the-week, drowning sorrows in whiskey sours. A phone call from Rome could restart his career or push him further into decline.
• CLIFF BOOTH – Rick’s stunt double and Hollywood’s most notorious presence. A man whose reputation hints he might have “gotten away with murder,” Cliff’s steady calm anchors the story’s riskier moments.
• SHARON TATE – A young actress who left Texas to chase stardom and is now living the dream on Cielo Drive. Tarantino humanizes her joys and the lightness of her life before tragedy.
• CHARLES MANSON – An ex-con turned cult figure who dreams of rock ’n’ roll fame while attracting a following of fragmented, vulnerable followers.
