Swift Press. Paperback. NEW. The Sunday Times Bestseller, "The Shards," is a captivating novel by renowned author Bret Easton Ellis. Known for his previous successful works such as "Less Than Zero" and "American Psycho," Ellis once again demonstrates his remarkable storytelling prowess in this chilling tale that follows a group of privileged high school friends in Los Angeles as they are faced with the terrifying presence of a serial killer. Set in the scorching heat of LA in the year 1981, the story revolves around seventeen-year-old Bret, who is approaching his senior year at the prestigious Buckley College. However, the arrival of a new student, the enigmatic Robert Mallory, shakes things up within the tightly knit circle of Bret and his friends. Despite Mallory's magnetic personality and undeniable charm, he harbors a mysterious past that he carefully conceals from those around him, including Bret and his companions. As the narrative progresses, Bret finds himself increasingly obsessed with Mallory, his thoughts consumed by the enigma that surrounds this new acquaintance. Simultaneously, a menacing presence lurks in the city as a notorious serial killer, aptly referred to as "The Trawler," targets victims with horrifying acts of violence. The killer's actions escalate in intensity, and his eerie connection to Mallory becomes apparent, causing Bret and his friends to question their safety and the trust they have placed in those closest to them. Haunted by the fear and uncertainty of their situation, Bret plunges into a downward spiral of paranoia and seclusion. He grapples with his own inner demons and the all-consuming fixation on the connection between Mallory and The Trawler, unsure of whom to trust and whether he can rely on his own sanity to decipher the danger that threatens their lives. Through Ellis's masterful storytelling, "The Shards" takes readers on a thrilling journey that skillfully blends reality and fiction. The novel delves deep into the emotional landscape of Bret's life as a seventeen-year-old, exploring themes of sexuality, jealousy, obsession, and the chilling potential for murderous rage. The narrative is gripping, filled with suspense, and offers moments of dark humor that juxtapose the haunting atmosphere. As the plot unfolds, readers become entangled in the complex web of relationships, secrets, and the looming threat of The Trawler, eagerly following the collision course between this malevolent force and Robert Mallory. With "The Shards," Bret Easton Ellis once again proves his ability to captivate his audience, leaving readers hooked from the first page until the last. This thought-provoking novel seamlessly weaves together elements of mystery, psychological suspense, and coming-of-age themes, providing a truly immersive reading experience. "The Shards" is an unmissable addition to Ellis's revered literary repertoire, showcasing his unparalleled talent for crafting compelling narratives that delve deep into the human psyche. As the story races toward its climax, readers will find themselves transfixed, unable to put the book down until they uncover the truth behind the enigma that links Bret, Mallory, and The Trawler.
