The Heroin Diaries, co-authored by Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx and editor Rantz A. Hoseley, is a searing hardcover diary-turned-memoir that charts one of rock’s most chaotic years. Stark daily entries, paired with dramatic illustrations, invite readers into the 1987 highs and crashes that inspired the genre-blending soundtrack of Sixx A.M.
This 2007 Simon & Schuster first edition arrives with its original dust jacket and all 208 illustrated pages intact. While the cover shows light foxing and the front endpaper a hint of scuffing, the binding remains tight and no previous owner has added notes or dog-ears—just a single small mark on one leaf.
Collectors of music biographies, true drug-survival stories, or cultural studies will appreciate the book’s clean interior and youthful appeal to both adults and older teens. At 856 g, it feels substantial on the shelf yet remains tidy enough for reading or gift-giving.
Offered here is a gently used copy ready to soundtrack your shelf; no signatures, inscriptions, or ex-library stamps—only the raw, unfiltered voice of Nikki Sixx preserved for fans of memoir, electronic rock lore, and unflinching personal truth.
