ALASTOR PRESS 

In order to cure persistent migraines and a painful stomach ailment, Thomas De Quincey developed a severe opium addiction early on. The gates of paradise were immediately thrown wide open, but he later – while trying to quit – plunged into the deepest abysses of his soul. During his abstinence, the nightmares awoke with strange force, something he describes intensely and openly in, among other things, Suspiria de Profundis, the sequel to the notorious Confessions of an English Opiate Eater. Here are all of De Quincey's opium texts collected.
