"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."Hodgson, Barbara is the author of 'Opium A Portrait of the Heavenly Demon' with ISBN 9780756762902 and ISBN 0756762901.
