Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:
Illuminated by an amazing array of archival photos, rare engravings, movie stills, and lurid dime store book covers, this engrossing book takes a fascinating look at this illicit indulgence.
Review:
"Of special note is the cover of a 1958 edition of Claude Farrre's 1904 novel BLACK OPIUM; it features a naked, voluptuous blonde rising out of the smoke of an opium pipe. The image is both absurd and sad, for opium use decreases the sex drive. But then again, as Hodgson notes in her insightful book, the pull of the drug is anything but logical."
Carolyn T. Hughes, New York Times, 10/17/1999
