  • "From the Back Cover: Diary Of A Drug Fiend was Aleister Crowley's first published novel. To the reader of 1922 it presented a shocking look at a little known phenomenon. Today, while we are more familiar with drugs because of their widespread use in our culture, Diary Of A Drug Fiend remains one of the most intense, detailed and accurate accounts of drug addiction and the drug experience. The book was written by Crowley after years of deep personal study and experimentation with drugs. It is the story of a young man and woman who fall madly in love and whirl through Europe in a frenzied haze of heroin/cocaine adventure. Their ecstasy is brought to an abrupt end when their drug supply is cut off and despair replaces joy. Through the guidance of King Lamus, a master Adept, they free themselves from the entanglements of addiction by the application of practical Magick."
  • "While fictional, Diary of a Drug Fiend is believed to represent the personal experiences of the author. 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."
