Confessions Of An English Opium-Eater and Literary Reminiscences (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

In this haunting autobiography, De Quincey describes the pleasures and pains of his addiction to opium, the surreal visions and hallucinations that accompanied his nocturnal wanderings through London, and the despair, nightmares, and paranoia he suffered. First published in 1821, this remarkable volume paved the way for later generations of literary drug users. Also includes "Suspiria de Profundis," "The English Mail-Coach," and his "Literary Reminiscences" of Lamb, Coleridge, and Wordsworth.
