Bicycle Day and other Psychedelic Essays
Alan Piper
London: Psychedelic Press, 2023.“What are the roots of psychedelic culture? Why are psychedelics seen as transgressive? How was Albert HofmannÂ’s discovery of LSDÂ’s effects entwined with a world at war? In Bicycle Day and other Psychedelic Essays, Alan Piper explores the often forgotten or ignored early histories of psychoactive drugs that helped shape psychedelia. Falling between the eighteenth century, the Club des Hashischins and the psychedelic sixties, the less explored interwar period has a surprisingly rich culture of drug-induced mind states, which are intimately connected with the birth of modernism. From the literature of Hope Mirrlees, David Lindsay and Ernst Jünger, to Harvard peyote experiments, HofmannÂ’s occultic network and the relationship of Sandoz pharmaceuticals with Nazi Germany, Alan PiperÂ’s collection is a rich tapestry of literary and social drug history. It includes a Foreword by Mike Jay, author of Mescaline: A Global History of the First Psychedelic.” (publisher’s blurb)

Timothy Wyllie
Port Townsend: Feral House, 2022.“The rare and collectible Process Church magazines are back in print. Do you dare find out who rules you? The Process Church of the Final Judgement inspired fear and devotion amongst London’s swinging set. The Process Church magazines, published between 1967-1971, the celebrated thematic magazines of the notorious Process Church of the Final Judgment cult were created to be hawked on the street in order to raise money and attract like-minded adherents to their unorthodox Gnostic theology. Printed in order of their first appearance, the Sex, Fear, and Death issues are here reproduced in their entirety. The first edition of this collection published in 2009 now sells for over a thousand dollars. The Feral House release Love, Sex, Fear, Death: The Inside Story of The Process Church of the Final Judgment by Timothy Wyllie and other ex-members explored the history and aftermath of the notorious organization and the accusations lodged against it. (This sold out edition is also once again available with a new foreword and additional, rare material.)” (publisher’s blurb)
