A sensational new novel from the bestselling author of Less Than Zero and American Psycho that tracks a group of privileged Los Angeles high school friends as a serial killer strikes across the city. His first novel in 13 years, The Shards is Bret Easton Ellis at his inimitable best.

Los Angeles, 1981 –17-year-old Bret is a senior at the exclusive Buckley prep school when a new student arrives with a mysterious past. Robert Mallory is bright, handsome, charismatic, and shielding a secret from Bret and his friends, even as he becomes a part of their tightly knit circle. Bret’s obsession with Mallory is equalled only by his increasingly unsettling preoccupation with The Trawler, a serial killer on the loose who seems to be drawing ever closer to Bret and his friends, taunting them with grotesque threats and horrific, sharply local acts of violence.

Can he trust his friends – or his own mind – to make sense of the danger they appear to be in? Thwarted by the world and by his own innate desires, buffeted by unhealthy fixations, Bret spirals into paranoia and isolation as the relationship between The Trawler and Robert Mallory hurtles inexorably toward a collision.

Gripping, sly, suspenseful, deeply haunting and often darkly funny, The Shards is a mesmerizing fusing of fact and fiction that brilliantly explores the emotional fabric of Bret’s life at 17 – sex and jealousy, obsession and murderous rage.©2023 Bret Easton Ellis (P)2023 Random House Audio Coming of Age Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Psychological Suspense Thriller & Suspense Kurgu Heyecan verici Korkutucu

Never have those words been more reassuring. This is a properly scary book. Gripping. Superb. A great read but not for the faint (feint?) hearted.

This is a work of fiction

Such a strange experience, listening to the author’s words in his own voice, even with the knowledge that it’s a fictionalised account of his life, it was damned creepy and compelling. I had to work at the acceptance of BEE’s voice, initially finding it slack and characterless, but the combination of that moody monotone and the numbness of the characters’ lives and attitudes became oddly addictive. I’m going to see if any of his other work has been self-narrated…

It’s ‘Clove cigarette’ he is saying. They are flavoured cigs that US hipsters smoked a lot as far as I’m aware.

I like that the book was leading somewhere, there was a sticky part in the middle and just seemed to go on and on, it picked up. I was disappointed by the end, and it never really gave a finality to the story.

Ok story
