Waste
land
Twenty-three-year-old Brendan Childs has everything: a vintage Ferrari Dino, a custom Tom Ford wardrobe, and a void where his soul should be. Growing up between old English aristocracy and the sun-drenched excess of Bel Air, he navigates a world of chemical highs and diminishing returns. To feel anything at all, Brendan begins a descent into a nocturnal Los Angeles where the line between costume and reality — between performance and instinct — dissolves.
From an impulsive Halloween massacre in West Hollywood to a blood-soaked New Year's Eve at the family estate, Brendan discovers the only thing that actually gives him a pulse.
Enter he who calls himself Patrick Bateman. He's not just a dealer. He's a glimpse into a future Brendan was born to inherit.
Wasteland is a razor-sharp satire of 2020s Los Angeles — where privilege is the original sin, everyone is performing, and the most dangerous man in the room is the one who stopped pretending to care.
"I usually say, one dead guy before page three. Here there are three! And what confidence in style. This is no ordinary novel."Sören Bondesson — author and Sweden's foremost literary mentor
"Deadlier than Fentanyl, more addictive than OnlyFans — leaves you numbing your gums with the promised sequel off its mirrored final page."Adam Novak — City of Wheels & Freaks of the Industry
"Brendan Childs has everything, needs nothing, and kills people the way most people change channels."
