Heroin's Harbour

In this gripping collection Heroin’s Harbour Goldfinger offers us an intimate look at the world of drug addiction as the “body soul and mind [are] interlocked in heroin hypnosis.” Told in three parts as the protagonist descends into the deeper grip of addiction he wonders “what decision was it...that made it too late to turn back.” The euphoria of the high is followed by a cascade of loss betrayal jail armed robbery near death experiences broken relationships terrifying bouts of withdrawal arrest warrants drug dealing and death of loved ones. Even when he vows to quit he is haunted by his addiction as he describes “the junk called to me and it knew my name” and falls back into the “dance with the poison dust of incoherent dreams.” As the drugs like reptiles slither into the corners of his mind he knows that even after years of being clean he will never be totally free.
