Overview
- Simon & Schuster announced on Friday that Somewhere Dark and Hot will be published on Feb. 23, 2027, with world English and audio rights acquired and first serial rights secured.
- The publisher says Cherry will narrate the audiobook, a choice the actress has framed as a way to control how her story is told.
- The memoir traces Cherry’s path from leaving an abusive home at 18 and working in the adult-entertainment industry to rising to wider fame as Faye on HBO’s Euphoria.
- Cherry and press excerpts describe candid memories of life on porn sets and in model homes and honest accounts of her struggles with mental health, eating disorders, and substance use.
- Publishers see the book as part of a wave of frank celebrity memoirs that probe sex work, fame, and self-invention and may sharpen cultural talks about who can cross over into mainstream media.
