Witches of Calabasas

Witches of Calabasas is narrated by the author, Frank Elaridi, 4x Emmy winning journalist turned energy healer.

Beneath the glittering wealth of Calabasas lies something ancient, seductive, and deeply dangerous.

When aspiring writer Maxim moves into the guest house of the mysterious Winters estate, he expects inspiration, luxury, and maybe a fresh start in Los Angeles. Instead, he's pulled into a world of intoxicating parties, fractured relationships, Hollywood excess, whispered rumors, and a woman everyone seems terrified to name aloud.

Candace Winters―the infamous "Calabasas Countess"―is beautiful, magnetic, impossibly wealthy, and surrounded by stories that sound more like curses than gossip. Some call her manipulative. Others call her toxic. But the deeper Maxim falls into her orbit, the more reality itself begins to shift. Lights flicker. Animals grow uneasy. Strange writings appear in his laptop that he doesn't remember typing. And every glamorous night in the Hills feels haunted by something dark hiding just beneath the surface.

As obsession, desire, privilege, and paranoia intertwine, Maxim discovers that in Hollywood, people don't just reinvent themselves―they conjure entirely new identities. And some myths are powerful enough to consume anyone who gets too close.

Sultry, hypnotic, and dripping with occult glamour, Witches of Calabasas blends psychological suspense, supernatural mystery, literary romance, and Hollywood noir into a mesmerizing story about fame, power, wealth, and the terrifying people who seem born to wield it.

Perfect for listeners who love the decadent darkness of American Horror Story, the seductive mystery of The Secret History, and the dreamlike glamour of Euphoria with a supernatural twist.
