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 Peter Holiday, a disgraced professor running a rehab scam so audacious it’s almost admirable. When their lives collide, Susie and Peter 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

The federal government needs to indict @ICEgov murderer Jonathan Ross for the murder of Renee Nicole Good in #Minnesota. #ReneeNicoleGood https://t.co/qC0YcduBH8
@DHSgov Wrong. Not anyone. Only those you don't like. These terrorists? Full pardon. I guess the next president can just pardon the people you just sentenced. Fucking traitors.
@WhiteHouse First of all, "antifa terrorists" aren't an actual thing. Secondly, these people didn't attack anyone you dumb fucks, they practiced their constitutional right to protest and made noise. I can't get over how totally fucking stupid everyone in this administration is.
We are watching the rapid erosion of the fundamental right to dissent in real time. In a federal courtroom in Fort Worth, prosecutors are pushing for life sentences for eight activists involved in a noise protest outside an ICE facility. Let that sink in. These individuals are being treated with the same severity reserved for the most dangerous enemies of the state, all because they chose to show up and voice their opposition to a government agency. By weaponizing terrorism statutes to silence critics, the Department of Justice is signaling that the era of constitutionally protected assembly is effectively over.
This is not about law and order; it is about intimidation. Throughout history, authoritarian regimes have consistently utilized the label of domestic terrorist to justify the permanent removal of political opponents from public life. By criminalizing the very act of speaking out, the state is attempting to instill a paralyzing fear in anyone who dares to challenge the status quo. If we allow the government to lock up protesters for the duration of their natural lives for making noise, we are handing them the keys to a police state. Silence is not an option when the foundation of our democracy is being dismantled. @TheJusticeDept@DAGToddBlanche@DHSgov@ICEgov@WhiteHouse #Texas #ICE #antifa #fightfascism
