In addition to his long-classic \u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e story \"The Devil and John Holmes\" (which helped inspire the upcoming Val Kilmer film, Wonderland) and his groundbreaking \u003ci\u003eGQ \u003c\/i\u003epiece about murdered Irish investigative reporter Veronica Guerin (also the subject of a major film starring Cate Blanchett), Scary Monsters and Super Freaks is a wonderful rogue's gallery of up-close pieces about the most public failures of the American dream. From Rick James and his drug-fueled detour into white slavery to the life and suicide of porn starlet Savannah, from deep inside the beating of Rodney King and the Heaven's Gate cult suicides to Chuck Berry's sexual predilections, this book brings to high-profile true crime a highly identifiable voice and style. Currently Esquire's Writer-at-Large, Sager takes us along for the ride with a raft of other figures including the late NWA Rapper Easy E. Winner, the FBI agent who fell in love with his informant, and the highest ranking DEA agent to be busted for drug trafficking. This is a brilliant debut collection by one of America's most respected and stylish crime writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMike Sager\u003c\/b\u003e was a reporter at the \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e under then-metro editor Bob Woodward before leaving to write exclusively for magazines.
