Hero of the Underground: A Memoir

Hero of the Underground is the riveting New York Times bestseller.

I wasn€t afraid of death. 

How could I be? I lived under death€s shadow every day. When you swallow sixty Vicodin, twenty sleeping pills, drink a bottle of vodka, and still survive, a certain sense of invulnerability stays with you.

When you continually use drugs with the kind of reckless determination that I did, the limit to how much heroin or crack you can ingest is not defined by dollar amounts but by the amounts your body can withstand without experiencing a seizure or respiratory failure. . . .

I found myself contemplating death again. Only this time I wasn€t going to leave it to chance. I was going to buy a gun, load the thing, place the barrel in my mouth, and blow my fucking brains out.

And all€"

of my problems€"

would be€"

solved.

€œHad Hunter Thompson been a football player instead of a fan, this is the book he€d have written. Flat-out, mash-your-face-in-the-dirt amazing.€ €"Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight
