Somewhere Dark and Hot

A raw and unapologetic memoir from Chloe Cherry—breakout actress from Euphoria, former porn star, and model.

A few months after filming her final porn scene in a bunny mask, the second season of Euphoria premiered, and Chloe Cherry's life changed forever.

Five years earlier, she had run away from home, propelling herself into the adult entertainment industry at eighteen. It was 2016, a time when Pornhub was booming while American Apparel was going bankrupt. What followed was a blur: porn sets and model houses, eating disorders and insomnia, OnlyFans and unemployment, psychotic episodes and drug abuse.

Then came Euphoria, and the vertigo of a new kind of fame. Cast as the unforgettable Faye, Chloe went from adult-industry outsider to breakout icon, challenging assumptions about who gets to cross over into Hollywood. Joining a generation-defining cast alongside Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, Angus Cloud, and Maude Apatow, Chloe refused to hide where she came from or rewrite her story.

In Somewhere Dark and Hot, Chloe tells the story of how she survived it all and why she regrets none of it. Shocking, funny, and nakedly matter-of-fact, she dismantles the myths we tell about “good girls” and “bad choices.”

In the tradition of Julia Fox's Down the Drain and Jennette McCurdy's I'm Glad My Mom Died, Somewhere Dark and Hot is a fearless memoir that asks: How far would you go to start over?
