A Literary Fiction Short Story

Buy from Amazon

Publisher Description

Capturing the essence of Hunter S. Thompson's "Gonzo" style, short story Mescalito details his dark and miserably comic first mescaline drug trip.

First published in Songs of the Doomed, Mescalito suggests the nascent ideas and energy of Thompson's seminal work on the '60s experience, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

"We live in a jungle of pending disasters," the author warns.

Alone in a hotel room in Los Angeles in February, 1969, Thompson's alter-ego Duke sustains a fever-pitched bout of paranoia so dark and depraved, it would make most mortals run fast―and far―from this kind of suicidal experimentation.
