Strangers, we are dark again this week, but please enjoy this episode from the vault, with a special added bonus.
In the mid-1990s Michael Alig was king of New York City nightlife, ruling over a group of misfits known as the Club Kids. His parties made him the vanguard of shock-factor cool, inflating his ego and his drug problem, until it all went spiraling out of control. How do you know when the party's over? When someone ends up dead.
