Often overlooked in discussions of the great narcotics memoirs, Aleister Crowley’s rarely read 1922 work Diary of a Drug Fiend deserves to be mentioned alongside such addiction classics as Confessions of an English Opium Eater, Naked Lunch, Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas and Trainspotting. The 'diary' is an outrageous drug-fueled romp offering fascinating first-hand insight into early recreational heroin and cocaine use. Not long after its publication, the British press dubbed Crowley “The Wickedest Man In The World.”
Follow the harrowing escapades of lovers Peter Pendragon and Louise Laleham as they embark on a drug-fueled bender through Europe and encounter the enigmatic magician who could save them.
This new digital edition of Diary of a Drug Fiend includes an image gallery showcasing rare portraits of Aleister Crowley and early black magic symbolism.
