Prince Junkie by Rob Tannahill

Ben Thibouville is an ex-con and drug addict living on the streets of Houston. He isn't searching for the deeper meaning of things, he's running from it. Seeing no point in struggling through the rat race, he opts out and gives himself up to the concrete. Rife with drugs, petty crime, hallucinations, sex and violence, Prince Junkie is a no- punches pulled, honest look at what life is like in the world of a no-bullshit street addict roaming his fiefdom.

"Rob Tannahill is no stranger to the street and its denizens. He's spent a long time among them smoking, snorting, and shooting everything he could get his hands on. Thank fuck he didn't throw his life away. He's used his experience to give us a snapshot of Hell. Don't linger here too long. He's slightly domesticated, but he's still dangerous..." -John Bruni, author of EYE CUTTER
