Publisher Comments:

Murder Was Never So Much Fun!

When Disco Bloodbath was first published, it created a storm of controversy for its startlingly vivid, strikingly fresh, and outrageously funny depiction of the hedonistic world of the New York City club kids, for whom nothing was too outré — including murder. Nominated for the Edgar Award for best true-crime book of the year, it also marked the debut of an audaciously talented writer, James St. James, who himself had been a club kid and close friend and confidant of Michael Alig, the young man convicted of killing the drug dealer known as Angel.

Now the book has been brought to the screen as Party Monster, with Macaulay Culkin playing killer Michael Alig and Seth Green as author/celebutante James St. James.

About the Author

James St. James who was once dubbed a "celebutante" by Newsweek magazine, now leads a quiet, sedate existence in Los Angeles, far from the madness that he writes about. This is his first book.

party monster (previously published as disco blood bath) is honestly the best book i have ever read. the fact that it is just so true, so raw, made me want to never put it down! i'm afraid to see the movie, because it seems movies always ruin the books whole plot. but yes, i would recommend this book mostly to teens and young adults. do not read if you are really conservative, homophobic, or have a weak stomach. :]
