My friends at the 1947project have announced that demon dog James "I will never again publicly discuss the Black Dahlia murder or my mother’s death" Ellroy will be hosting a bus tour on Dec. 22.

For a mere $60 you can hear my old pal James not discuss his mother’s murder as the bus visits Arroyo High School in El Monte and other sites in L.A.

Woof, Daddy-o.

(At right, as sold on EBay: "Black Dahlia Avenger" autographed by Steve Hodel and inscribed to James Ellroy, who provided the introduction to the book, endorsing Hodel’s contention that his father killed Elizabeth Short).
