Diary of a Drug Fiend Gilded Pocket Edition By Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley's novel follows Peter Pendragon and Louise Laleham into a volatile relationship shaped by travel, drugs and occult pursuits. Their European journey becomes a story of attraction, dependency and attempts at transformation.

Drawing on elements of Crowley's experience does not make the book a literal diary or an addiction-treatment manual. Readers can approach it as fiction from a distinctive and controversial occult writer, without treating its account of recovery as medical guidance.
