“With frank observations and blunt commentary, Tamblyn has created a smartly crafted collection, proving that she is a savvy and fierce woman and poet who knows that behind every spotlight is shadow.” — Booklist
“Dark Sparkler is an elegy, a eulogy, a rhapsody, a rage. In these astonishing poems inspired by dead actresses, Tamblyn fiercely examines the spectacle of the actress as she lives and dies and how our hands and hearts linger on their lives.”— Roxane Gay, author of New York Times bestseller Bad Feminist
The lives of more than twenty-five actresses lost before their time—from Marilyn Monroe to Brittany Murphy—explored in a haunting, provocative new work by an acclaimed poet and award-winning actress, and paired with 12 original, four-color pieces of artwork commissioned for the book by luminaries including David Lynch, Adrian Tomine, and Marcel Dzama.
As a woman who has grown up in the spotlight, Amber Tamblyn is deeply fascinated by—and intimately familiar with—the toll exacted from young women whose lives are offered in sacrifice as starlets. The stories of these actresses, both famous and obscure—tragic stories of suicide, murder, obscurity, and other forms of death—inspired this empathic and emotionally charged collection of new poetic work.
Featuring subjects from Marilyn Monroe and Frances Farmer to Dana Plato and Brittany Murphy—and paired with original artwork commissioned for the book—Dark Sparkler is a surprising and provocative collection from a young artist of wide-ranging talent, culminating in an extended, confessional epilogue of astonishing candor and poetic command.
What is the true cost of being a woman in the spotlight?
- The Cost of Fame: Through the lens of her own experience as an actress, Amber Tamblyn examines the toll exacted on over twenty-five starlets sacrificed to the machine of celebrity culture.
- Haunting Tributes: Elegies and eulogies for both iconic and forgotten actresses, from Marilyn Monroe and Sharon Tate to the lesser-known stories of Peg Entwistle and Dana Plato.
- Original Artwork: Features twelve provocative, full-color pieces commissioned for the book from artists like visionary filmmaker David Lynch and graphic novelist Adrian Tomine.
- Unflinching Honesty: Culminates in a raw, confessional epilogue where the author confronts her own relationship with Hollywood, fame, and survival.
