Before he became known as the  “Wickedest Man On Earth”, occultist Aleister Crowley penned this semi-biographical novel of a drug addicted couple caught in a web of self destruction, debauchery, and magic. When aristocrat Sir Peter Pendragon, a former WWI air force pilot, comes into a large inheritance from his uncle after coming back from the war, he’s at a stand-still in his life. All that changes when he has a chance encounter with the seductive Louise, an earnest femme fatale and devoted follower of Basil King Lamus. So begins their honeymoon across Europe, which quickly dissolves into a heroin bender.  Can they find salvation in the world of magic and demons? Or will they slowly be dragged back into the pits of chemical dependency? “Diary Of A Drug Friend” is a brutally honest work from one of America’s more elusive and mysterious figures. Ahead of its time for its frank portrayal of drug use, this book remains a powerful piece of literature in the canon of drug diaries that trail blaze a path for writers like Hunter S. Thompson and William S. Burroughs.
