Hell Hostage: Newly Released Fiction Presents An Untimely Face-Off Between Violent Crime And Schizophrenia

Released on = August 10, 2005, 11:01 am

Press Release Author = Lanette Zavala

Industry = Entertainment

Press Release Summary = Everyday countless lives are touched directly or indirectly by what is so recognized as an inescapable stigma of mental illness. Written by Tonshea Carroll and Lanette Zavala, Hell Hostage addresses the sensitive subject of schizophrenia from a unique angle with a touch of both drama and comedy. This fiction is a thriller that performs the unlikely heroism of a schizophrenic woman, the unlikely relationships among two trapped murderers and their kidnap victims, and an unlikely turn of events.

Press Release Body = Rodney Price and Fernando Torres, wanted for slayings in the South, are so notoriously unafraid to die while terrorizing society that they neglect to prepare for the worst. Then, they face their fate, tailored to actually tame them. During a devious plot holding a frightened rich couple for ransom on the isolated home acreage of their intended third hostage (EmmaJean MacNeal), the
killers attack her right at the point where it’s crucially time that she catch up on her overdue dosage of medication. Unaware of EmmaJean’s indiscernible issue, these men persist with their plan to hold her hostage along with the other two – and prevent her from taking the medicine. Only hours later, tables are turned and the world of a schizophrenic hostage
overtakes everyone on the crime scene. Holding all weapons and an adrenaline of physical strength, EmmaJean renames and re-identifies everyone in her clouded world: Rodney as “Langley”, her defiant husband who deserves vicious beatings
tongue lashes, and strict household chores and Fernando as “Otis Banks”, “Langley’s” badly influential friend. She perceives the kidnapped couple, who
suddenly find themselves positioned to use her delusion as a way to instigate against their brutally weakened kidnappers, as “Junior” and “Emma” – her children with “Langley” and her little angels.
As Hell Hostage explores this world of EmmaJean MacNeal, it presents the idea that other emotions can potentially conquer fear. Then, at that point, anything is
possible.
Hell Hostage is available for sale through major online bookstores. Also, “Hell Hostage: The Play” is scheduled for stage performance in Houston, Texas at The Ensemble Theatre/The Performance Center (using the Fannin Entrance) on October 14 and 15.
