CSTOTALLY KILLER, one of my favorite debut novels this year, is on sale this week (yay!) Greg Olear’s dark, wry novel of 1990’s New York follows 23-year-old Taylor Schmidt, a hot little number fresh to the city in the worst economic climate in history. Desperate for work and hungry for love, she finds the perfect job and the perfect boyfriend through the Quid Pro Quo employment agency. . . but perfection has its price. Narrated by Taylor’s lust-smitten roommate, Todd, TOTALLY KILLER is what it would look like if you put Fight Club, The Firm, and American Psycho in the blender.
With flannel.
And teased hair.
And Duran Duran.
Check out this most excellent trailer, which we shot on location in our offices!
