The Drug Chronicles
(2018)(A book in the Akashic Drug Chronicles series)
An omnibus of novels by Joseph Mattson, Gary Phillips, Jonathan Santlofer, Jerry Stahl and Jervey Tervalon
A wide range of bestselling and acclaimed writers—from masters of noir to literary lights—explore the milieu of drug culture in this “eye-opening series” (New York Journal of Books).
From Lee Child to William T. Vollmann, Joyce Carol Oates to Sherman Alexie, Eric Bogosian to actor James Franco, many of the finest contemporary writers of fiction weigh in on the lure and destruction of drug use, society’s ambiguous relationship to drug culture, and criminal behavior with short stories that are alternately harrowing, funny, sad, or scary—but always original and gripping.
