More Description This collection of heroin stories from Eric Bogosian, Jerry Stahl, Lydia Lunch, and more "will satisfy devotees of noir fiction and outsider art alike" (Publishers Weekly).
On the heels of The Speed Chronicles (Sherman Alexie, William T. Vollmann, Megan Abbott, James Franco, Beth Lisick, etc.) and The Cocaine Chronicles (Lee Child, Laura Lippman, etc.) comes The Heroin Chronicles, a volume sure to frighten and delight. The literary styles of these stories are as diverse as the moral quandaries they explore.
From the groundbreaking novels of William S. Burroughs to the mind-altering music of The Velvet Underground, heroin--in all its ecstasy and tragedy--has been the subject of many an underground masterpiece. Collected here are all-new short stories about the infamous drug by some of today's most celebrated and provocative writers, including Eric Bogosian, Lydia Lunch, Jerry Stahl, Nathan Larson, Ava Stander, Antonia Crane, Gary Phillips, Jervey Tervalon, John Albert, Michael Albo, Sophia Langdon, Tony O'Neill, and L.Z. Hansen.
