A Kind of Drug

The first Addicts used Rapture. Then came Lust. Later there was Delirium. These, among many others, were the finest & purest drugs that mankind had ever known. But not just drugs. Words. A written language that served as the most addictive narcotic to anyone who read the strange, Moroccan symbols. But as the world was still adjusting to this peculiar, new drug, Despair came along. A Word so horrible, no one ever made it to their second dose. Billions of people slaughtered their familes and committed suicide, all from just reading a tiny scrap of paper. Now, miserable and alone, the last Sober man on Earth travels across a deranged country and over a silent ocean in order to avenge the world he hated, yet he may learn to accept. Equal parts vulgar and hilarious, this is his story of Words and of what they mean for humanity. A Kind of Drug was originally serialized online between February 2011 and September 2012. This is not only the first print edition of that serialized work, but the first time it has ever been collected together in one, complete volume.
