Author(s): Nikki Sixx, with Ian Gihins

In one of the most unique memoirs of addiction ever published, Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx shares
mesmerizing diary entries from the year he spiraled out of control in a haze of heroin and cocaine,
presented alongside riveting commentary from people who were there at the time, and from Nikki
himself.

When Motley Crue was at the height of its fame, there wasn't any drug Nikki Sixx wouldn't do.
He spent days -- sometimes alone, sometimes with other addicts, friends, and lovers -- in a
coke and heroin-fueled daze. The highs were high, and Nikki's journal entries reveal some euphoria
and joy. But the lows were lower, often ending with Nikki in his closet, surrounded by drug
paraphernalia and wrapped in paranoid delusions.

Here, Nikki shares those diary entries -- some poetic, some scatterbrained, some bizarre -- and
reflects on that time. Joining him are Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, Mick Mars, Slash, Rick Nielsen, Bob
Rock, and a host of ex-managers, ex-lovers, and more.

Brutally honest, utterly riveting, and shockingly moving, The Heroin Diaries follows Nikki during
the year he plunged to rock bottom -- and his courageous decision to pick himself up and start
living again.
