Thomas De Quincey - The Atlantic
The First Troll, Thomas De Quincey, author of Confessions of An English Opium-Eater, for The Atlantic December 2016 issue. He was a vile sh!t talker and even trashed his two heroes William Wordsworth and Samuel Coleridge after their deaths as their biographer. He also did a load of opium, just like a lot of other people back then.
