FRIEND A KILLER, GET A THRILLER!

HENDERSON, Nev. – Trick or treat? How about both? The Movie Doctor is in this Halloween season and he’s recommending a dark and chilling tale. For those who are lucky (or is it unlucky) enough, he’s filling the prescription for free!

Dr. Gary Solomon, aka The Movie Doctor, is currently celebrating the release of his first novel A Ballad for Allison Porter. To help readers get into the spirit of Halloween, he’s giving away copies of the book to fans each Friday in the month of October.

“Friend a ‘killer,’ get a thriller” drawings will be held October 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29.

Anyone on the Facebook fan list at Facebook.com/BalladforAllison gets one entry into the drawing. If fans post on the Facebook page, post on their page or blog about the book, they will get additional entries into the drawing for everything they do. For those entries to be official, they must email WinaThriller@gmail.com.

In addition to the Facebook page, fans can check out the book’s official site at ABalladforAllisonPorter.com. Fans also get extra drawing entries for posting links to the site, which just went live this week.

The 192-page book has been described as “one part murder mystery, one part psychological thriller.” The story is about the life of a seemingly-unassuming young woman, who admits to killing her suburban Portland next-door neighbors in cold blood.

Allison Porter is a woman no one would have expected to commit murder. However, the secrets she keeps from a horrible past, unveiled via flashbacks, create sympathy for the killer and understanding of why she committed the heinous act.

“It’s really a one-of-a-kind book,” said Social Media Consultant Chad Clinton Freeman aka Social Media Chad, a writer, filmmaker and critic. “It’s a thriller with a lot of psychology and there are some graphic horror aspects as well. On top of that, it reads very much like a movie. Monster, Hard Candy, An American Crime, May and even Silence of the Lambs came to mind while I was reading it.”

Dr. Solomon has spent close to 30 years of practice in the field of psychology. The College of Southern Nevada professor is the creator and world authority in the field of Cinematherapy, a process that analyzes film for its psychological content to diagnose psychiatric conditions, social disorders and substance abuse issues. He is currently looking to turn his faux true crime story A Ballad for Allison Porter into a feature film.

Books are available for review to press and blog publications, and Dr. Gary Solomon is available for interviews.
