Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Interest in heroin is surging back after years of dormancy. Why?
Supply and demand! Drug cartels have increased the supply of
heroin, so that it is cheaper and purer than ever before. Secondly,
the Federal government's recent crack down on popular prescription
opiates like OxcyContin, Percocet, and Vicodin so they are
increasingly hard and costly to obtain on the black market. A
recent study reveals that people who had recently abused
prescription opiates are 19 times more likely to try heroin. Fueled
by a boom in supply and a decline in cost, heroin use is up around
the nation and spreading to segments of the population once
considered unlikely users. "Cool people are doing it!" Remember the
old slogan: "Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n Roll"? Heroin has a sexy
side--very sexy. Black Opium: Ecstasy of the Forbidden brings
heroin's sexy visions to life. The world of black opium is a
forbidden world where human bodies find themselves possessed and
driven by desires which consume them in the flames of hot-blooded
ecstasy, Black Opium describes every aspect of an opium smoker's
life in lurid detail. Often compared to James Joyces' Dubliners,
Farrere's Black Opium consists of seventeen compelling tales
delineating six periods in the history and use of opium. This
edition of Black Opium is a reissue of And/Or Press' 1974 Fitz Hugh
Ludlow edition, which features salacious illustrations by Alexander
King, and the addition of a foreword by Dr. Moraes.
