The Void Lurks Beneath Beverly Hills' Glamour in Sexy Serial Killer Thriller: Review of "The Shards"

Bret Easton Ellis's novel "The Shards," published in Denmark as "Skår," is the subject of a review in Berlingske, which highlights the author's recurring theme of the hollowness beneath American affluence and materialism. The review notes that Ellis, known for "Less Than Zero" and the satirical "American Psycho," masterfully depicts this pervasive emptiness.

Series creator Ryan Murphy shares this fascination with the superficial gloss of American life and the rot that festers beneath. Both Ellis and Murphy are drawn to exploring the apathy and decay lurking just below seemingly perfect surfaces, according to the review.

The article also features unrelated headlines, including one about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle allegedly creating a "rival court" to Prince William, and a cultural commentary piece by Jakob Steen Olsen urging liberal homosexuals to reclaim Pride. Additionally, there's a mention of Malene Schwartz turning 90.
