Raymond Thorp - Hooked!
(Original Title: Viper)
Paperback Library 52-220, 1963
Cover Artist: Tony Kokinos
"Hooked! This complete confession of a narcotics addict may shock and horrify you, but you will not be able to put it down. Utter sexual promiscuity, homosexuality, stealing, killing, prostitution of both sexes, drug-pushing, the enmeshing of the innocent—these constitute the nightmare world of the addict as he sinks lower and lower into total moral degradation."
"Told with a frightening and factual honesty, this book takes its place beside THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM, THE CONNECTION, and THE NAKED LUNCH as one of the most powerful works of our generation."
