A landmark work in drug literature, De Quincey’s autobiographical account of opium addiction influenced everyone from Baudelaire to Burroughs. The book’s dreamlike prose prefigures the psychedelic writings of the 20th century, making it a foundational text in altered-state literature. Illustrated with woodcuts by Blair Hughes-Stanton.
