Bret Ellis, the narrator of Lunar Park, is a writer whose first novel Less Than Zero catapulted him to international stardom while he was still in college. In the years that followed he found himself adrift in a world of wealth, drugs, and fame, as well as dealing with the unexpected death of his abusive father. After a decade of decadence a chance for salvation arrives; the chance to reconnect with an actress he was once involved with, and their son. But almost immediately his new life is threatened by a freak sequence of events and a bizarre series of murders that all seem to connect to Ellis’s past. His attempts to save his new world from his own demons makes Lunar Park Ellis’s most suspenseful novel.

In this chilling tale reality, memoir, and fantasy combine to create not only a fascinating version of this most controversial writer but also a deeply moving novel about love and loss, parents and children, and ultimately forgiveness.

    The style is perfect. And the chic suburbs life might actually be the scariest thing in this book.
    It's a little bit sleazy, it's funny, it's moving, it's terrifying, it's sad.

    It's mostly a story about father to son relationships, redemption, and facing the past.
    The style is perfect. And the chic suburbs life might actually be the scariest thing in this book.
    It's a little bit sleazy, it's funny, it's moving, it's terrifying, it's sad.
    Lunar park is BEE's most approachable novel, less name-dropping, less sleaze, more plot, more emotion.

  • Wtf wtf wtf?!?
    A voyeuristic, trippy ride.
    I alternately both loved and hated this book: sometimes I thought it was brilliant, sometimes awfully tacky. Postmodern horror?
    If you like it, go find the album 'Fear of a blank planet' by Porcupine Tree, inspired by this book.
