Diary of a Drug Fiend

The celebrated first novel of occult writer and mystic, Aleister Crowley.

When the charming Sir Peter Pendragon meets Louise Laleham, the two immediately begin a whirlwind relationship and embark on a frenetic drug-fuelled European adventure. Desperate to find some direction in life, Sir Peter soon experiences the intoxicating thrills and terrifying dangers of the drugs both he and his wife enjoy. Upon their return home, conflict arises as the couple try to abandon their addiction and experiment with "magick".

Inspired by Aleister Crowley's own experience as a drug addict, The Diary of a Drug Fiend is a gripping story about the frenzied pursuit of pleasure and ecstasy which eventually leads to despair, ruin,

and the desire for redemption.

This handsome pocket gift edition has real collector's appeal, featuring a facsimile of Crowley's signature on the title page, silver gilded page edges and beautifully designed endpapers. Part of the Arcturus Ornate Classics series this book makes wonderful gift or collectible for any fans of the occult.
