FREAK SHOW
by James St. James

Billy Bloom is gay, but it's mostly theoretical, as he hasn't had much experience. When he has to move to Florida, he can't believe his bad luck. His new school is a mix of Bible Belles, Aberzombies, and Football Heroes, none of which are exactly his type. Billy's efforts to fit in and stand out at the same time are both hilarious and heartrending. In this novel from adult author and media personality James St. James, readers are in for a wild ride as he tells Billy's fascinating story of bravado, pain, and unexpected love, inspired by his own experiences. - Penguin Publishing

The very fabulous James St. James rose to popularity in the late 80s/early 90s Manhattan club scene. One of the dynamic socialites who defined the underground scene and inspired the Club Kids movement, he also penned the book Party Monster, which told the story of the scene's premier event promoter Michael Alig who was convicted of murdering fellow scenester, Angel Melendez. A documentary was made about the events, followed by the feature film Party Monster which starred Seth Green as St. James and as Macauley Culkin as Alig.
