From Heaven nightclub to White Party and back—the story of Ghost.

In 1990, a sixteen-year-old walked into Houston's Heaven nightclub and became Ghost, living at the heart of the Club Kid movement for a decade. Platform shoes. Neon lights. Found family. Chemical transcendence.

But beneath the glitter: addiction, the AIDS crisis, and the inevitable reckoning.

On March 17, 2001—exactly 25 years before this book's publication—a HPD raid ended it all.

THE LAST CLUB KID is Ghost's account of what came before, what came after, and what it took to survive both.

A memoir about America's last great analog subculture, the communities that saved a generation, and rising from the ashes.
