In Scarlet Park, everyone performs their life like it's being filmed. The question is: who's watching?
James Ryder had it all-the acclaim, the studio backing, the entourage of beautiful parasites. At twenty-eight, the wunderkind director behind the controversial masterpiece Loveless should be untouchable. But in a city where yesterday's scandal becomes today's forgotten meal, even Gods can fall.
As James navigates the cocaine-dusted parties and champagne-soaked meetings that fuel the entertainment industry, he's about to discover that Scarlet Park's real power doesn't live in penthouses or studio lots.
When you've built your entire existence on other people's attention, what happens when they look away?
The Social is a savage meditation on fame, power, and the price of relevance in late-stage capitalism. Miguélangelo Hexylvania delivers a razor-sharp portrait of a generation that turned trauma into careers, connection into transaction, and existence into an endless audition for an audience that's already moved on to the next thing.
For readers of Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Ottessa Moshfegh-a nihilistic fever dream that reads like American Psycho crashed into Black Mirror at a Hollywood afterparty.
Welcome to Scarlet Park. Try not to disappear.
