The king of gonzo journalism's most scorching work for Rolling Stone

'It would not do to be found in the desert under these circumstances: firing wildly into the cactus from a car full of drugs'

Fear and Loathing at Rolling Stone showcases the evolution of a writer through his work at the magazine that he helped to put on the map. Jann S. Wenner, Hunter Thompson's editor and friend for nearly thirty-five years, has chosen the pieces, including many never collected before. They show how Thompson's Rolling Stone writing, when taken as a whole, forms an extended, allusive autobiography of the writer himself as he pursues his lifelong obsession, the king-hell story of them all: The Death of the American Dream.

Absolutely brilliant ... Hunter S. Thompson has more fire and righteous outrage than most journalists half his age. Hard truths about America conveyed with tremendous wit [Praise for Kingdom of Fear]

The fear and loathing have never seemed more apt ... he's still raging against the machine [Praise for Kingdom of Fear]

Fantastic ... I don't think anyone else in print has called George Bush a whore beast [Praise for Kingdom of Fear]
