Hunter S. Thompson

A strange mutant of some kind...

About Me

The creator of gonzo journalism, a style of writing that blurs distinctions between fiction and nonfiction. Callous, erratic, self-destructive journalist who constantly drank alcohol and took hallucinatory drugs. Fond of firearms and a firearms enthusiast with a vast collection of handguns, rifles, shotguns, numerous forms of gaseous crowd control, automatic and semi-automatic weaponry, and virtually every form of manufactured and homemade explosive known to man.
