Phantom of the Paradise by Bjarne Rostaing (w/ Ethan Warren)

Faced with the gargantuan task of adapting Phantom of the Paradise into a cohesive novel, this guy name Bjarne Rostaing did just that, and did it so, so well. Today on Authorized, we're joined by author Ethan Warren to discuss Swan, Beef, the Phantom, and all the rest as the galavant around everyone's favorite music venue: The Paradise. This book has prequel chapters, glorious head-hopping, and a completely different ending from the film. It's a hell of a tome.
