"Two junkies are trembling with winter cold and late afternoon heroin withdrawal in their southside Chicago heroin shooting gallery, the older is telling the younger about junk, what else? He says "A cannibal pusher told me he never heard screaming like that, since he was a kid, and the hogs ate grandma." The shooting gallery was formerly a slaughter house, and very many animals entered here, each one with hope and the desire to live. But no mercy was ever shown, no not to even one. Listen and you can hear them screaming, first in terror and then in agony, as they are butchered alive...
So begins master storyteller Phillip Duke's story of heroin drug addict and pusher horror, terror, depravity and death. The action builds to a final climax so terrible, that perhaps you should not read this book? "HEROIN God's Own Medicine" is the best selling and most widely acclaimed book in its genre, Horror Addiction. Vividly written with the in your face style of Nelson Algren, it describes in detail just what it really means to be a junkie, and become junk itself, in all possible ways, and then no longer be human.
By popular demand there is a continuation story titled "HEROIN God's Own Medicine Two." It can be read anytime you feel up to it, but for maximum impact read HEROIN God's Own Medicine first. Good luck!
