“This collection is Los Angeles, 2012, on fire, and somehow the people are worse than the flames. Perverts is a set of interconnected stories that read like one long crime scene where the tape keeps moving. Mr. Cosco mines Hollywood’s rot for humor and horror, and the result is grimy, funny, upsetting, and way too readable. One page you laugh, the next you need a shower.”
Perverts is a provocative, darkly comedic collection of interconnected stories set against the backdrop of Los Angeles in 2012, as the city burns. It pulls back the curtain on the secret lives of sexual deviants, abusers, addicts, and fame-chasers lurking in the shadows of the City of Angels. Each tale is boldly erotic and savagely satirical, exposing the hollowness behind Hollywood’s glamour.
From a powerful Tinseltown predator spinning a web of exploitation, to a desperate addict in search of salvation, these stories paint a raw, unfiltered portrait of a city in collapse. Unapologetically transgressive yet wickedly witty, Perverts blurs the line between comedy and horror; you’ll find yourself laughing one moment and recoiling the next. The result is a searing satire of Los Angeles where the real monsters wear human faces.
