Junkie Love

Camden Town. The late 1980s. A hinterland of rundown squats, petty crime and hard drugs.Amid this sordid milieu, junkies Phil and Cissy go about their daily routine of sex, shooting up and dodging the police. For a while they have each other and nothing else seems to matter. But as their addictions worsen, money runs short and Cissy’s psychotic ex-boyfriend is released from prison, their relationship begins to disintegrate into mutual distrust and loathing…Raw, repellent and yet shot through with mordant wit, Junkie Love is Phil Shoenfelt’s semi-fictionalised account of the heroin addiction that almost cost him his sanity and his life.]]>
