I'm not sure which specific 'book of dope stories' you are referring to. There could be many books with such a title or a similar concept. It might contain interesting and perhaps unique stories, but without more context, it's hard to say exactly what it's about.
It's likely non - fictional. Given that Howard Marks was a real person with a real life full of experiences, it's probable that the stories in the book are based on his own real - life events.
