Diary of a Drug Fiend

Esoteric Classics: Occult Fiction

By: Aleister Crowley

Narrated by: Shea Taylor

When Sir Peter Pendragon, a retired pilot of the Great War, meets the free-spirited Louise, a devotee of the mysterious occultist Basil King Lamus, the two immediately get married and set off across Europe, on a drug-fueled honeymoon of heroin and cocaine. Eventually, in an attempt to break free of their recently acquired habit, the newlyweds find their way to the Abbey of Thelema in Italy, where the adults perform invocations to the sun and the children freely recite passages from the Book of the Law. At the guiding hand of King Lamus, the sisters of the Abbey maintain magical diaries, practice strange rituals, and pursue their true will. But what will become of Peter and Lou?

A love story of epic relevance

Let us get on with the great work. This little story is sweet and vile, I loved it. Worth a read for sure

What a roller coaster of emotions!

Wow! Aleister is a genius! The narrator does a great job and the accent works well.

Blown away

Powerful story. Tremendous performance by the narrator. I would probably enjoy anything Shea Taylor read. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire 13 hours.

Great book

Definitely not what I expected, but a great book. I enjoyed it. Definitely recommend.

Best book I’ve read

Review requires at least 15 words. I say to damn with your requirements, filthy Audible. And to damn with your profiting off of the work of others you lazy, insolent, greedy, corporation.
