The latest entry in the Akashic Drug Chronicles Series. Heroin has long been understood as the most “literary” of narcotics, and this collection will, for better and worse, have tremendous pop cultural appeal.
“The third and finest Akashic entry yet in its Drug Chronicles series…focuses on the enigmatic opium poppy and its various derivatives… Standouts include…Gary Phillips’s ‘Black Caesar’s Gold,’ not to mention Stahl’s own ‘Possible Side Effects’.”
