About this product

Product Information

Stylish reissue of a classic first published in the 1970s: Hunter S Thompson's ether-fuelled, savage journey to the heart of the American Dream. 'We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold... And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas...' As knights of old buckled on armour of supernatural power, so Hunter S. Thompson enters Las Vegas armed with a veritable arsenal of 'heinous chemicals'. His perilous, drug-enhanced confrontations with casino operators, bartenders, police officers and assorted representatives of the Silent Majority have a hallucinatory humour and nightmare terror never before seen on the printed page.

  • Drug Fuelled Road Trip

    Ahh! This brings back memories. The faces of unfamiliar people becoming gradually unrecognisable as the Acid melted their features and my brain. You knew the LSD was excellent when you couldn’t see because of the hallucinations. Having to pull over because the road was moving about too much. English Lake District rain that was so loud a single drop could be heard from twenty feet away. What happened to all that teeth-grindingly good Speed? Sound familiar? You’ll laugh out loud at the antics of the Reporter and his Attorney. The Terry Gilliam film with Johnny Depp and Benicia Del Torro recreates many of the scenes very well. Do some people still live like this?
