ADRIENNE BARBEAU'S L.A. TIMES BESTSELLING MEMOIR, There Are Worse Things I Could Do, is now available on Kindle in a box set with two thrillers from her witty, satirical fictional series about another "scream queen" - with a twist...

After the success of her bestselling memoir, a rollicking romp through five decades of Broadway and Hollywood, Tony-nominated actress and iconic "scream queen" Adrienne Barbeau turned her skill as a sharp-eyed satirist to the absurdity of Hollywood, with its petty jealousies, vain ambitions, and over-the-top visuals.

The delicious result of all these thrilling elements? The action-packed Vampyres of Hollywood series! Part comic mysteries, part police procedurals, a little bit supernatural, paranormal, and occult (with a dash of old-fashioned vampyre romance -- and lots of action, suspense, and adventure), Love Bites and Make Me Dead are guaranteed to make you laugh out loud -- more than once.

Vol. 1: THERE ARE WORSE THINGS I COULD DO

Barbeau hilariously details her early years in New York, securing her first apartment, then getting her first job -- as a barmaid -- and, memorably, starring on Broadway in Grease. She shares warm memories of her two hit television series (Maude and Carnivale), and tales of her many television and feature films (The Fog, Escape from New York, Cannonball Run, Swamp Thing, Back to School, Creepshow).

But unlike most showbiz biographies, Barbeau's story doesn't stop -- or even slow down -- at fifty, which finds our heroine newly in love, wandering the halls of the maternity ward a new mother (the only new mother on the floor with an AARP card), becoming a published author (of vampire thrillers!), and taking up trapeze-performance at seventy.

Vol. 2: LOVE BITES

NOT YOUR MAMA'S POLICE PROCEDURAL -- A COP STORY WITH BITE... AND ROMANCE... Not to mention sharp, cutting wit.

If you think you don't like vampyre books, you haven't met a woman sleuth like Ovsanna Moore. Don't think "vampyre", think the fulfillment of your fondest personal fantasy -- a woman who wins every fight; who (being 450 years old) can say exactly what she wants with no guilt and no regrets; and who, even at the advanced age of 450, looks like a sexy 20-year-old and is still up for hot romance. Enter Beverly Hills cop Peter King -- easy on the eyes, he's not only one hell of a detective, he's also a consummate master of spin, concealing what he knows about the world of vampyres, werewolves, and shapeshifters while solving the crimes they commit.

Vol. 3: MAKE ME DEAD

... WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH OUT LOUD
Nobody's better than Barbeau at skewering the foibles of Hollywood and its self-involved denizens, and nobody's got a smarter mouth than her movie star heroine, Ovsanna Moore, this time in New Orleans for a horror convention. Fasten your seat belts -- lots of fun to be had (at the expense of horror conventions).
