About Shoot (Unabridged)

A provocative blend of transgressive fiction and splatterpunk horror, Shoot returns to the Lonely Motel as an adult entertainment mogul recounts the filthy, heartbreaking stories behind his empire—and confronts the dark secret and deadly curse that have followed him for decades. Porn mogul Chuck Power, creator of the Bespoke camshow app and director of countless adult films, returns to his roots at the Lonely Motel for one final candid interview about his life, his career, and the so-called "Chuck P. curse." Owing his twenty-six year career to his humble beginnings at the Lonely, Chuck, along with close friend and star Tammy Rivers, built an empire from their first one-camera shoot to an adult entertainment creator studio, featuring dozens of live, interactive webcam broadcasts. From a legend-in-the-making obsessed with orgasms to a gym rat psychic, to addicts and exotic dancers, the stories Chuck tells are filthy, funny, heartbreaking and gut-wrenching: a raw, unflinching portrait of a man who made his name selling pleasure. But there's one story he refuses to tell anyone, the darkest of them all. The Lonely Motel has claimed many victims in its storied past. And everyone knows, whether you rent by the hour or the night, staying there comes at a cost. Chuck Power has paid that price more than just about anyone else.
