J.K. Rowling has decided to go to the entire other end of the writing spectrum as compared to what she usually writes about. Instead of wizards and Harry Potter adventures she will be writing a book based on heroin addiction and teen sexuality. Hit the jump

A female character is introduced with the description that the ‘leathery skin of her upper cleavage radiated little cracks that no longer vanished when decompressed’.
At another point in the book, the reader meets a ‘lustful boy’ who sits on a school bus ‘with an ache in his heart and in his b****’.
And the author’s usual fans may also be shocked – if not a little perplexed – by the mention of one girl’s ‘miraculously unguarded v*****’.
Although some fans may be upset by the direction she has taken, Miss Rowling – who has sold 450million Harry Potter books worldwide, amassing a personal fortune of £560million – insists she should be free to write about whatever she wants.
‘There is no part of me that feels I represented myself as your children’s babysitter or their teacher,’ she said. ‘I was always, I think, completely honest.
‘I’m a writer, and I will write what I want to write.’
The 47-year-old, who has three children, also revealed that she was ready for a change in genre after years of writing magical tales.
‘I had a lot of real-world material in me, believe you me,’ she told the New Yorker magazine.
‘The thing about fantasy – there are certain things you just don’t do. You don’t have sex near unicorns. It’s an ironclad rule. It’s tacky.’ However, she insisted her decision to write for adults was ‘not that I just wanted to write about… sex’.
‘I think there is a through-line,’ she added. ‘Mortality, morality, [they are] the two things I obsess about.’
The Casual Vacancy – which is due to be published on Thursday – is already a record breaker, with the novel receiving the largest number of in-store pre-order sales this year, according to Waterstones.
It is also said to have reached well over a million online pre-orders.
