Robert Louis Stevenson, cocaine

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886) was written during a six-day cocaine binge. His wife Fanny said: 'That an invalid in my husband's condition of health should have been able to perform the manual labour alone of putting 60,000 words on paper in six days, seems almost incredible.'
