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.
