⁠
Brilliant, surreal, macabre, Party Monster caused a sensation when it was first published in 1999. ⁠
⁠
“Celebutante” James St James was a founding member of the group dubbed Club Kids in 90s New York. Infamous for their bizarre costumes, makeup and decadent lifestyle, they inhabited a legendary era of the city’s nightlife.⁠
⁠
When Michael Alig appeared on the scene he was initially shunned by St James and his cohorts. But before long he had become master of ceremonies, throwing outrageous parties at Danceteria, The Limelight and The Tunnel, his antics watched in appalled fascination by the tabloid press.⁠
⁠
In this fabulous, horrifying tale, part memoir, part true crime, St James recounts in deadpan style the insane vortex of drugs, hubris and hedonism which led to Alig’s downfall. In a drug deal gone horribly wrong, he and his roommate first kill Andre “Angel” Melendez and then, in a grotesquely casual manner, dispose of his body.⁠
⁠
Nominated for an Edgar award on the year of publication, Party Monster was filmed in 2003 with Macaulay Culkin as Alig and Seth Green as St James. It was directed by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, the duo behind the worldwide success of RuPaul’s Drag Race.⁠
⁠
This UK edition features a 2021 afterword from James St James, pondering the subsequent career and fate of his friend Michael Alig.⁠
