Simon & Schuster to Publish PEEPS ON SUNSET: A BUNCH OF FREAKY-ASS STORIES by Nine-Time Grammy Award-Winning Musician Anderson .Paak

Simon & Schuster announced that it will publish PEEPS ON SUNSET: A Bunch of Freaky-Ass Stories by Grammy Award-winning musician Anderson.Paak with Khaila Amazan. This hilariously unhinged, wildly entertaining collection of erotic stories centers on a mysterious adult store on Sunset Boulevard and will publish in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook on February 2, 2027.

Known for his inventive blend of musical genres and creative versatility, Anderson.Paak expands his repertoire with his debut book—reteaming with Amazan fresh off his acclaimed Netflix debut K-Pops!. This collection of stories revolves around Peeps on Sunset, the last refuge for true freaks in Los Angeles. Rocco, the store’s reluctant heir, is yanked out of art school by his free-loving hippie parents to breathe new life into the struggling sex shop he grew up in. The store has questionable stains, dated designs, and a weird hole in the bathroom, and even weirder customers. Now, Rocco has to fix it all while finding himself—and fielding every fantasy and secret that walks in the door.

Anderson.Paak’s first book lives somewhere between Goosebumps and Fifty Shades of Grey—a kinky, fever-dream tour of modern desire that celebrates all the ways we come into ourselves, and each other..Paak’s sensual mischief, showcased in songs like “Leave The Door Open,” (by his R&B supergroup Silk Sonic with Bruno Mars), and “Water Fall (Interluuube),” now extends into the world of erotic fiction. Fans will recognize all the signatures of.Paak’s masterful world-building, atmospheric storytelling, and cheeky playfulness in Peeps on Sunset.

Anderson.Paak said: “In my endless pursuit of side quests, writing a book felt like my next frontier. Peeps on Sunset is another peek inside my brain—all the weird, sexy, sometimes dark, but mostly fun corners of it. It’s a fictional world, but hopefully one that’s as entertaining to get lost in as it was to create. I’m incredibly grateful to Simon & Schuster for helping me bring this world to life and, of course, for not asking too many questions along the way.”

Stuart Roberts, Vice President and Executive Editor at Simon & Schuster, said: “Anderson.Paak is a true freak, and Peeps on Sunset proves it. This book has it all: sex, romance, self-discovery, big laughs, and even a few tears. We already knew Anderson could write hits, sing, dance, drum, DJ, and make movies. Now we know he can also write some of the craziest sex stories ever conceived. Strap on—I mean, strap in—for a wild ride from one of the most talented artists at work today.”

Stuart Roberts acquired first serial, audiobook, and US, Canada, Open Market rights from Cait Hoyt at Creative Artists Agency. The author will lend his voice to the audiobook.
