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)

Sex and Horror Volume 4
Nicola D’Agostino; Y. El-Droubie
London: Korero Press, 2016.“This is the fourth title in our bestselling Sex and Horror series, which celebrates the 1960s and 1970s publishing phenomenon known as fumetti sexy–Italian adult comics with a unique take on such genres as horror, crime, fantasy, history and fairy tales. The comics were hugely successful, due in part to their uninhibited mix of twisted humour, gory violence, and up-front eroticism; however, what makes them so sought-after today is their technicolour cover illustrations, rendered by classically trained painters. Here is a further collection of those superb covers–a visual feast of outrageous pulp art.” (publisher’s blurb)
