It also features sequences from other Wood movies including ‘The Night the Banshee Cried’. This novel was released after the movie of the same title but was actually written prior to it.
There is a character in this novel called Dalton Van Carter who appears to be based upon the real-life film director, William Desmond Taylor. This is probably one of Wood’s better novels and certainly one of the most iconic. When Glen suspects he has been set up by his bosses, he goes on the run and winds up joining a carnival. By day he is normal, ordinary Glen Marker and by night he dons the angora in order to become his ruthless killer alter ego, Glenda Satin. Also known as "Killer in Drag" (from 1965), this most famous Wood novel sees Glen from ‘Glen or Glenda’ working as a transvestite assassin.
