Publisher's Synopsis
Narcotic euphoria meets the demands of everyday life in Richard Wirick's brilliant new collection of interlocking stories. Not just another drug book, Wirick's collection is a gut punch to the notion that the drug war stems from society's fringes. Instead, he shines a light on the ways in which so-called democratic governments use drugs to keep selected segments of society marginalised. The result is a masterful collection - a vivid, terrifying and startling fictional exploration of the many ways people experiment with what Coleridge once called 'the milk of paradise'.
