After plummeting from Oscar nomination to becoming a tabloid joke, Glaswegian actor Charlie Donnelly gets primed to fake his own death after his agent convinces him that it’d rid him of debt and give him a second chance at life. But there’s one problem: Charlie has discovered social media, and that isn’t healthy for an ageing narcissist with murderous tendencies, too much spare time on his hands, and a lust for karma.
"Fear and loathing hits Los Angeles as an actor who sold his soul to Hollywood returns from the dead to confront his tormentors. A brutally funny assault on capitalist excess and the reduction of culture, this is a book for those who not only believe in karma, but also the sort of hardcore vengeance that can only be served up by a drink-loving, drug-fuelled, toilet-tripping man of the people straight out of Glasgow."
John King, author of The Football Factory and Human Punk
“Savage, grotesque, tragic . . . and very funny.”
Callum McSorley, author of Squeaky Clean
“A tragicomic trawl through the hedonism and hubris of Hollywood.”
Ewan Gault, author of The Sound of Sirens
