Riassunto:

Often overlooked in discussions of the great narcotics memoirs, 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.

Crowley’s 'diary' is a hilarious, outrageous drug-fueled romp and offers 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.

About the Author: Aleister Crowley was occultist, magician, poet, painter and mountaineer who scandalized society throughout his lifetime. He was widely published and was also founder of the religion of Thelema. An open advocate of drugs, he embraced his notoriety - he was described as 'the wickedest man in the world' by the popular press.
