Ghosts and Ballyhoo: Memoirs of a Failed L.A. Music Journalist chronicles Thomas Wictor's ten years in the Los Angeles music industry and his quest to free himself from the past. Ostensibly a memoir, Ghosts also asks - and possibly answers - provocative questions about fate, destiny, and life after death. The book is structured as a collection of anthologies rather than a continuous narrative; the seven anthologies detailing Wictor's failed career are separated by six interludes with the "Collateral Ghost," one of the most brilliant, yet unsuccessful, musicians who ever played - former Frank Zappa bassist Scott Thunes. Thomas Wictor's experiences include multiple failures across multiple spectra and an endless series of coincidences that always returned him to the notion that there is a Plan. Losing nearly everything he loved gave the author clarity, enabling him to see patterns of guidance and sustenance visible everywhere once he was no longer blinded by rage and negativity. This clarity exorcised Thomas Wictor and brought him peace of mind, which allowed him to transform the anger over what he lost into gratitude for what he once had. Written with profane humor and no self-pity, Ghosts and Ballyhoo includes previously unpublished articles, excerpts from interview transcripts personal correspondence, and photos.

Amazing story of a harsh life and the man who survives it. Fascinating! I recommend this book to anybody that had a less than perfect life, had a perfect childhood or thought you did, and were able to move on to live your life. This story could also help so many people that are struggling to believe that you can get to the other side.
Thomas Wictor. This book is amazingly awesome! I feel like I was living your life and watching through the window. The descriptions were so vivid that I could picture the downfalls and loss of everything. I am so proud of you Thomas Wictor for standing up and surviving a life that at times was nearly impossible. You are a hero and an awesome example to so many people that come from varied life that you can get out, you don't have to follow in the footsteps of those from your past, AND you can live YOUR life and be happy!
I was given this book from NetGalley and Schiffer Publishing. ( )
