Sir Peter Pendragon is running from his woes. Caught up in the luck of a large fortune, a life of decadence and indulgence is hard to fight when you're battling inner demons. But marrying the striking and clever Louise Laleham will put him on the right track. Or so it seems. She's the daughter of the occultist Basil King Lamus. And with one too many magic tricks up her sleeve, there's no telling where their love will take them. Set against the backdrop of a society sinking its teeth into addiction following the brutal and bloody World War I, `Diary of a Drug Friend' weaves an unexpectedly uplifting and insightful tale about the truth behind addiction. Incorporating a magic touch, it's a must-read for fans of Erin Morgenstein's breathtaking `The Night Circus'. Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) was an English occultist, magician, poet, painter and author. Having founded the religion Thelema, many of his novels and non-fiction books explore the occult and magic as an ancient art, including `Diary of a Drug Friend', `Moonchild' and `Magick in Theory of Practice'. Having focused on poetry and mountaineering at Trinity College, the University of Cambridge, he remains today a highly influential figure in Western esotericism and the counterculture of the 1960s.
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Muriel Pittam was a gorgeous young woman who knew it. She had no problem attracting men, and she flirted with every man she came in contact with. She was well-connected as a prominent member of the local Conservative party and a leading figure in the Anglican Church. #2 Muriel and Derrick got married in 1941. The wedding photos are posed studio shots showing Mum with her hair swept up into a high style while she wears a dress of shimmering floor-length satin. They look like everyone's idea of the glamour couple. #3 Muriel's success seemed complete in 1949, when she gave birth to a baby boy named Nigel. However, she was extremely displeased with him from the start, and she never looked at him except when posing for photos. #4 The author's mother, who was supposed to love her the most, became evil when she had two babies in quick succession. She became bitter and resentful, and her life was dominated by her routine at home with the children.
