Good Ol' Fashion Trainspotting
It’s nice seeing a non-fiction biography that isn’t a photograph of the subject alone. The Heroin Diaries gives us more than just a stale image of Nikki Sixx, we are sent presented with images that are part of the world of our protagonist. I am also happy to see that the characters of the words aren’t made up from a predetermined font set—something like that wouldn’t work with this cover. Instead the scribbles and etches make for a richer preview of the topic.

It kind of looks like it wants to be a graphic novel - and it certainly looks more effective in this format than a standard picture of the writer. It makes me think of the '30 Days of Night' adverts all around the city. Pretty interesting in that regard. I could have met everyone involved on this book but chose not to.
