Screw-Jack & Other Stories is a collection of short stories written by the famous Gonzo writer, Hunter S. Thompson.
"Hello. Have a nice day." -first lines of Screw-Jack".
The chapters
Mescalito
"Mescalito", previously published in Songs of the Doomed, is a trippy account of a long wait in a Los Angeles hotel while high on speed and mescaline.
Death of a Poet
"Death of a Poet" relates a visit to a friend's trailer home that takes a number of bizarre twists before ending in violence.
Screwjack
The last and final chapter in the epic series. Ostensibly written by Raoul Duke, "Screwjack" begins with an editor's note explaining of Thompson's alter ego that "the first few lines contain no warning of the madness and fear and lust that came more and more to plague him and dominate his life...." "I am guilty, Lord," Thompson writes, "but I am also a lover -- and I am one of your best people, as you know; and yea tho I have walked in many strange shadows and acted crazy from time to time and even drooled on many High Priests, I have not been an embarrassment to you...."
