Klappentext
Fictional popstars and their fans --- in tales of love and dangerous obsession --- inspired by 2010's icons.
Inspired by 16 years of shooting some of the biggest names in the music world, witnessing the rise and fall of pop icons, and watching descents into madness as they experience the backlash of fandoms, Collins created two fictional music groups exclusively for this publication. Collins pulls themes of identity and mental health through this compellingly realistic but narrative fiction --- the solo star and pop group featured might remind readers of BLACKPINK and NewJeans, Olivia Rodrigo and Selena Gomez, and Y2K popstars. The story follows a cinematic journey as the performers are seen through the eyes of their fans and stalkers, images of performances, rescues, and confrontations, interspersed with letters, conversations, and diary entries.
The story's five chapters follow Ashley, a solo star, and Siren8, a teen idol group designed for bubblegum appeal. Ashley, once a quiet artistic student, is discovered at a school performance and pushed into pop stardom. She starts sincere and gentle, but fame twists her identity. Manipulated, isolated, and disassociated, she becomes a ghostlike figure to those who knew her before disappearing under mysterious circumstances. Siren8 contrasts with Ashley's "dreamy-girl-next-door" image. They tour with Ashley before an unexplained falling-out. Vuyu, Ashley's quiet, protective best friend, knew the real Ashley and reappears in anonymous forums to correct misinformation. Momo, a hardcore Ashley fan and obsessive researcher who created a viral timeline thread that's a monument to Ashely's erasure. B, a loner at Ashely's school, fixates on Ashley as a symbol of truth. She writes dozens of letters, convinced she's protecting Ashley, an obsession that slowly turns violent.
