Description
A vivid and often shocking account of life in New York City's club scene in the 1990s, Party Monster is a true crime story that explores the darker side of the city's nightlife. The book delves into the world of clubs like The Tunnel and The Limelight, where the lines between excess and violence were often blurred. At the heart of the story is the infamous murder of a drug dealer, and the subsequent trial of the young man convicted of the crime, Michael Alig. This is also the story of James St. James, the author, who was a close friend and confidant of Alig, and offers a unique insight into the world of the club kids. With its striking and often humorous portrayal of the hedonistic world of the 1990s club scene, Party Monster is a fascinating and often disturbing read.
