Erin Mayer's Fan Club is a razor-sharp, unsparingly critical thrill ride through millennial life. It's about obsession and devotion and, ultimately, the dangers of falling in love with an artist.

The author has a knack for writing that's hypnotic and addictive. She tells the story of a woman who finds comfort in a cult-like love fans.club to pop star Adriana Argento, but she ends up getting deeper into the group's sinister secrets than she thought possible.

She soon finds herself in a dark, deadly circle of women called the Ivies, who worship her music in witchy candlelit listening parties. They're all devoted fans of Adriana, but she can't help but think that they may have something else at stake.

This story is a good look at how far we've come in the celebrity-obsessed internet age, and it also shows us that there are some who can't escape their obsessions. But this isn't a perfect book; the end feels rushed and the climax feels forced.

But it's a very clever and well-written book, full of dark secrets and satire. It's a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how easy it can be to fall into the trap of obsession.

In the past, fan clubs have often been a form of immoral support for artists who have abused their followers. This can be a problem because it enables artists to continue harming their victims.

But there are some who have found a way to continue their devotion while sending a message that they don't tolerate the behavior of the artist they're supporting. One fan has even made a t-shirt that says "Love the Smiths Hate Morrissey".
