Synopsis

From Houston's Heaven nightclub to South Beach's legendary White Party-the untold story of America's last great analog subculture.

In 1990, sixteen-year-old Steven walked into Heaven nightclub with a fake ID and insatiable curiosity. What he found was a world that would define the next decade of his life: the Club Kid movement, a subculture that transformed nightlife into performance art through radical fashion, music, and chemically-enhanced transcendence. He became Ghost.

THE LAST CLUB KID chronicles Ghost's journey from suburban Houston to the heights of 90s club culture-platform shoes, neon lights, drag icons, MDMA-fueled raves, and the unspoken hierarchy of glamour that governed the night. But beneath the glitter was darkness: addiction, the AIDS crisis devastating an entire generation, and the inevitable reckoning that comes when excess meets consequence.

On March 17, 2001-exactly 25 years before this book's publication-a HPD raid ended Ghost's involvement in that world. THE LAST CLUB KID is his account of what came before, what came after, and what it took to survive both.

This is a story about finding family in the most unexpected places, witnessing the AIDS crisis reshape queer culture, addiction and recovery, and America's last great analog subculture before the digital age changed everything.

Platform shoes. Neon lights. Transcendence. Survival.

With a foreword by Superstar DJ Keoki.
