This series plunges into the decadent world of 1980s Los Angeles youth, where sex, drugs, and disaffection intertwine with boundless privilege and moral decay. Follow young protagonists as they navigate opulent parties, the city's seedy underbelly, and personal crises. The narratives explore themes of nihilism, lost innocence, and the search for meaning within a superficial and often hopeless environment, frequently leading to unsettling and intense experiences.

Where else can Clay go but down? "A teenage slice-of-death novel, no holds barred".--VILLAGE VOICE. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
