The club scene may seem glamorous and classy, but this fictional memoir by a former bouncer and club security manager shines a light on the seedier side of nightlife.

Dwight BoNey spent a decade working in various capacities at clubs before his disgust with club culture became too much for him to handle. Now, through a fictional lens, he looks back at the debauchery on display throughout his career.

Sex, drugs, and violence are normal occurrences for those who make their livings working in clubs. Anyone who has been a bouncer, bartender, or just a club-goer will recognize themselves, their coworkers, and their friends in the diverse set of characters.

Swingers, strippers, arsonist firefighters, cowboys, gangsters, and more show up at the club. Dwight BoNey’s depiction of the various types who might turn up on a Saturday night will leave you laughing long after you finish the final page.
