Vancouver after Dark is Aaron Chapman's fourth book with Arsenal and continues his interest in documenting Vancouver's nightclubs and performing venues. His first book Liquor, Lust, and the Law (reissued as a new edition in 2017) was the history of the storied Penthouse Nightclub; his second, Live at the Commodore, about the equally legendary Commodore Ballroom, won the Bill Duthie Booksellers' Choice Award at the BC Book Prizes. His third book, The Last Gang in Town, about the infamous Clark Park gang, was his biggest selling to date, with sales approaching 10,000 copies.
Vancouver after Dark is Aaron's most comprehensive book to date: a narrative that surveys Vancouver's nightspots from the 1940s onwards (with references that go even further back). Included are the swanky 1950s nightclubs The Cave and Isy's Supper Club that featured live musicians and orchestras; illicit Chinatown cabarets, East End dive bars, West End gay clubs, and other legendary sites like Luv-a-Fair (for New Wave), the Smilin' Buddha (for punk), and Gastown's the Town Pump.
The book includes historical color and B&W photographs throughout.
The book can be sold as a music/entertainment history title.
