Serial Showgirl

Serial Showgirl - Melinda K. Bryce

Serial Showgirl


When a young drag queen's best friend is brutally raped, he takes justice into his own hands.

Serial Showgirl is more than a vigilante justice crime thriller, it's the deeply emotional story of a young gay man's struggle to not only survive in a society of toxic masculinity, but to maintain his mental clarity when it's so easy in the drag world for the illusion to become a delusion.

Charlie Moreno grew up in a small town in rural Michigan. He knew when he was very young that he was different. He liked the feeling of his older cousin Nicole's strawberry-patterned romper on his skin. He felt good in his mom's lipstick, applied in secret in the bathroom mirror. His parents knew there was something different about Charlie, but they chose to love and accept him despite the rebuke they took from their Latino Catholic family.

When he was seventeen, Charlie created a new life for himself in Boystown, Northalsted, Chicago. Now, he works at Nordstrom and spends his free time performing drag with The Sour Pussies and going clubbing with his best friend, Aimee, his platonic soulmate. The two are inseparable in every way, until the unthinkable happens... and Charlie realizes that he doesn't really know her at all.

"Serial Showgirl is a fantastic story about ingenuity and spunk, showcasing that every experience, good and bad, helps to shape us into the person that we are today. You don't have to be your circumstances, you just have to make a plan toward whatever your ultimate goal and desire is. This story shows the multi-layered days that gay men experience, from finding themselves, being the light in the room, being someone's rock and the glue to hold everything together. I've known Dan, Iowna, Monique, and all of the other personalities that rent a room in the fabulous brain behind Serial Showgirl. They're such a fantastic human, and this book helps to give a truer and more authentic snapshot to what many gay men go through." -Frankie Schreibman-Wingle, Owner, METRA Magazine

"With a wickedly fun cast of characters and a rewardingly twisty narrative, Serial Showgirl proves you can have your cake and eat it, too." -Matthew Santia, Award-Winning Screenwriter & Director

"I love how quickly things turned! I am a sucker for a good crime thriller, and I felt like I really got to know the author from this story..." -Orion Story, Drag Performer, RuPaul's Drag Race: Season 14
