Praise for KILL DICK
“For lovers of Bret Easton Ellis, Luke Goebel’s KILL DICK renders a pop-infused and murderous portrait of an iconic Los Angeles on fire complete with pools, pills, ennui, murders, and a cacophony of brands. But this novel has a timely pulse, and Goebel—with his gorgeous sentences and imagistic prowess—pulls off one of the hardest tricks of all: making morality fun.”
— Melissa Broder, author of Death Valley“Luke Goebel’s KILL DICK is a hypnotic descent into wealth, chaos, and the deranged art of self-destruction. It’s like if Joan Didion and Hunter S. Thompson had a love child raised on Oxy and existential dread—impossible to look away from. The prose moves like stolen cash, the world is decadent and rotting at the edges. Honestly, if you’re not reading this book, what are you doing? Probably something dull and unpaid. Consider this your invitation to the party—just don’t expect to leave unscathed.”
— Anna Delvey“If this book were any better, I’d cut my own head off.”
