Kill Dick is a love letter to LA's darkness and light.--USA Today
Kill Dick is the kind of book that makes you want to write. Luke Goebel has written an insane portrait of Los Angeles in the vein of Bret Easton Ellis and Joan Didion. It's a car chase of a novel, where you never want to look away.--Playboy, Top 10 Most Anticipated Books of 2026
Goebel delivers.--Publishers Weekly
Shot through with profundity endemic to youthful privilege, Susie's rambling, terminally jaundiced narrative paints a darkly surreal Lynch-and Kubrick-inspired portrait of LA.--Kirkus Reviews
A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2026 in LIT HUB and PLAYBOY; featured in the NEW YORK POST's 31 Page-Turning New Thrillers to Read and on FOX 11's GOOD DAY LA.
At nineteen, Susie Vogelman should be coasting: she's an NYU dropout with no responsibilities, endless prescription pills, and a Brentwood estate to waste away in. But Los Angeles has other plans. A string of brutal murders targeting addicts spreads through the city, and Susie's ivory tower begins to crumble. The headlines point too close to home: her father's ties to an opioid empire, a sinister secret society, and her own complicity in the systems holding it all together.
Then there's Phil Krolik, a disgraced professor running a rehab scam so audacious it's almost admirable. When their lives collide, Susie and Phil are dragged into a web of privilege, corruption, and violence, where every escape leads deeper into the rot.
Dark, satirical, and razor-sharp, Kill Dick is a modern literary thriller that unflinchingly dissects wealth, exploitation, and the perilous line between survival and self-destruction.
