With this seductive and chillingly nihilistic novel, Bret Easton Ellis, the writer of American Psycho, returns to Los Angeles, the town whose moral badlands he portrayed unforgettably in Less Than Zero. The time is the first eighties. The characters go directly to the same schools and eat at the same restaurants. Their voices enfold us as seamlessly as those of DJs heard over an automobile radio. They have sexual intercourse with the same boys and girls and purchase from the same dealers. In a nutshell, they are linked in the only way people can maintain that city. Dirk sees his best friend killed in a desert car wreck, then rifles through his pockets for a last joint prior to the ambulance comes. Cheryl, a wannabe newscaster, chides her future stepdaughter, "You're tan but you don't look happy." Jamie is a clubland carnivore with a taste for human blood. As rendered by Ellis, their interactions compose a chilling, fascinating, and outrageous descent in to the abyss beneath L.A.'s stunning surfaces.
