Abrams, writer-director-producer, Lost, Alias, Westworld, Star Trek, Star Wars: The Force Awakens 'Engrossing, poignant, tragic, and hilarious - I couldn't put it down. A more heartbreaking, honest, funny, and insightful book on the subject of loss can be found nowhere.' - J.J. Such is the case with Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies. 'When a journalist as talented as Ausiello turns their focus inward, something special is bound to occur.

And in the midst of personal turmoil, we learn that bravery comes in many forms' (The Washington Post). 'Engrossing, poignant, tragic, and hilarious' (Jenny Lawson, #1 New York Times bestselling author), Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies is 'a story about love and loss, joy and heartbreak. In this heartbreaking and darkly hilarious memoir, Michael tells the story of his harrowing and challenging last year with Kit while revisiting the thirteen years that preceded it, and how the undeniably powerful bond between him and Kit carried them through all manner of difficulties-always with laughter front and center in their relationship. Over the course of eleven months, Kit and Michael did their best to combat the deadly disease, but Kit succumbed to his illness in 2015. What many of his fans don't know, however, is that while his professional life was in full swing, Michael had to endure the greatest of personal tragedies: his longtime boyfriend, Kit Cowan, was diagnosed with a rare and very aggressive form of neuroendocrine cancer. From his time at Soaps In Depth and Entertainment Tonight to his influential stints at TV Guide and Entertainment Weekly to his current role as cofounder of the wildly popular website TVLine, Michael has established himself as the go-to expert when it comes to our most popular form of entertainment. For over a decade, TV fans have counted upon Michael Ausiello's insider knowledge to get the scoop on their favorite shows and stars. Now a major motion picture starring Jim Parsons, this is a 'heartbreaking but surprisingly hilarious memoir' (People) about the lessons, love, and laughter of the fourteen years a respected TV columnist shared with his late husband before he succumbed to cancer.
