initial cover concept
Miranda Cook was the ultimate clubber... a hardcore partygoer who quit school aged 14 to embark on a debauched, drug-fuelled dancefloor meltdown. After an initiation in the seedy criminal underworld of the south coast, she headed to London, where she worked for a brief and unglorious spell on the Sunday Times before landing a job as Clubs Editor on the dance scene bible MixMag. As author of the magazine’s infamous ‘Comedown Queen’ column, Miranda’s job was to find the perfect night out – a task she threw herself into with relish. She flew to Ibiza and Aiya Napa in private jets with superstar DJs and roamed the length and breadth of Britain’s booming late 1990s club scene - and she found those perfect nights... except that they usually came with a dozen pills, several lines of coke and half a bottle of spirits. She had a good time, all the time, for 10 years – until it all went a bit Pete Tong, and she found herself living in a filthy room above a club in Sheffield, with no friends, no money and a bad case of the paranoid shakes.
The Comedown Queen’s Adventures In Clubland is her eye-popping, excess all areas story – of a life lived in the fastest of the fast lanes, of how it all went wrong and how she got herself back together again. Never self-pitying, hilariously indiscreet and shudderingly honest, hers is a cautionary tale for the naughty noughties. Miranda Cook is now a dance music PR and agent
for top name DJs and artists.
