The book begins with Peterson recalling her days as an "extremely homely kid," a far cry from the vampy vixen for which she'd later be known. It wasn't until longtime friend, writer and self-proclaimed groupie Pamela Des Barres hooked her up with an agent that the ball finally got rolling at Hachette Books, who released the memoir this month. "Well, I have been thinking about it forever and kind of making little notes as I went along, writing little essays and putting them aside," Peterson explained, telling TooFab she's said she's "working on my autobiography" for the past 15 years. "Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark," out now, chronicles Peterson's tough childhood and rebellious teen years, followed by her stint in Las Vegas as a showgirl and the many famous men with whom she canoodled during that time, before her eventual her rise to fame as the OG "Queen of Halloween." Mixing the character's signature humor with emotional reveals from Peterson's real life, it's definitely an eye-opening celebrity memoir and a must-read for diehard fans. The Mistress of the Dark reveals why she had no problem naming names like Elvis and Jimi Hendrix in her new tell-all memoir - and talks Elvira's future as she turns 70.Īfter turning 70 this month, Cassandra Peterson is getting ready to hang up Elvira's extremely low-cut dress once and for all - more on that in a minute - but before she does, she's spilling everything about her life so far in a new tell-all book.
