Like To Die

di Christopher Reeds (Autore)

Christopher Reeds, 2025

What happens when influence becomes currency, and vanity is more dangerous than violence? In the seductive, high-gloss world of modern celebrity, lives are curated in real time for public consumption. Followers are amassed like armies. Captions are crafted like poetry. But beneath the surface of filtered perfection, something much darker stirs. Like to Die is a psychological thriller that dives deep into the toxic intersection of technology, fame, and control — and reveals what happens when the most followed people on the planet start dying one by one. At the center of this stylish and chilling tale is Dorian, a multi-millionaire playboy and global icon whose life is as mysterious as it is magnificent. Wealthy, photogenic, and endlessly connected, Dorian is the kind of man who floats through exclusive penthouses, Mediterranean yachts, and luxury galas with the ease of someone born to be worshipped. But Dorian isn't simply playing the fame game, he's studying it. Watching. Waiting. To the influencers and elite alike, Dorian is a king among kings, a man of influence in a world built on illusion. But in private, he views the influencer elite with disdain. He sees not icons, but empty avatars. Not creativity, but desperation. Their curated lives, viral content, and constant need for attention strike Dorian not as admirable, but as grotesque. He believes they've traded their humanity for digital applause. And in his mind, they need to be reminded of the price of such a bargain. Their deaths are slow and over weeks. Their final posts are strange, cryptic, messages that hint at something lurking behind the glamour. Suicide notes? Cries for help? No one can tell. The public consumes the drama like content. But nothing ever links the deaths together. No fingerprints. No motive. No trace. As influencers vanish, comments are posted. And the messages grow more disturbing. Behind these digital ghosts is Elias, Dorians partner in crime, the man behind the hacks and victim research. The story unfolds through Dorian's haunting inner monologues and Elias's eerie digital rituals. We see how power corrodes, how childhood traumas fester, how envy and obsession twist ambition into something monstrous. Dorian, once a boy suffocating under the shadow of a beloved older brother, has reinvented himself as a modern god — but the cracks in his perfect mask are beginning to show. Because in this world, being seen is everything. Until someone decides… You don't deserve to be.
