S9E29: Magnets with Kelly Loudenberg and Makiko Wholey


Praise from Bret Easton Ellis, author of American Psycho and The Shards:


“Hollywood Vampires lays it all out in riveting detail... I found [the book] very, very hard to put down.”


“It’s not just about Johnny Depp and Amber Heard—it’s about a larger cultural shift... and this book captures that moment.”


“This is the kind of book that restores nuance to a story that got hijacked by ideology.”
