1980‘s los angeles through the eyes of america’s smuttiest writer, brett easton ellis
LA getting you down? because its Too Boring? Escape into this provocative - bordering-smut novel that takes place in more exciting, drug fueled times. It’s called ’The Shards’ and I read it earlier this summer and could not put it down. Like most of Ellis’ writing, it’s got well dressed preppy hot people and cocaine and serial killers. After reading ’The Shards’, I’ve been very visually inspired by 1980s LA 🎥🎥🎥

THE SHARDS
The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis was my favorite book I read last year. Drugged out rich kids in private school, lots of music mentions (to the point there’s playlists of it) and a 70s styled California serial killer. I was very into it.

The Shards by bret easton ellis
What Ellis did to the Young Professional in American Psycho, he does to the American teenager in The Shards - violently and carnally probes archetypes put on pedestals by American society, swapping New York traders and socialites for quarterbacks and prom queens. Sweeps you up with lives you wished you lived all the while making you grateful you don't. Not without true humanity and flashes of resemblance to figures and events in my own years of high school debauchery.

very specific references
I’m reading the shards by brett easton ellis and I love how specific he gets when describing his days. The exact restaurants they visited, the music they were listening to, the street names. I don’t recognize LA but it makes you feel like you were there.

Tea tree oil
It has so many purposes. For some reason it cures any weird thing that appears on my skin. I know its antibacterial but feels like a miracle for anything nefarious. also if your sink smells bad throw some down there it’ll help.
