“As big a splash as St. James (Disco Bloodbath) made on the Club Kid circuit in the 1980s and ’90s, his entree into the [Young Adult] world may prove to be equally fraught with controversy—and over-the-top fabulousness,” says Publishers Weekly about James’ Freak Show. “In Billy Bloom, St. James has created an archetypal hero for outsiders and freaks. Though the subject matter and language will likely prove controversial, it’s nearly impossible to remain untouched after walking a mile in the stilettos of someone so unfailingly true to himself and so blisteringly funny.”
