Product Description

Religions. Philosophies. Advertising campaigns. Gurus. Prozac. All of these drugs are sold as answers to our deepest questions: Why are we here? What truly has meaning?

For a group of young adults desperately searching for meaning in the bleak McMansion sprawls of Suburban America, these questions are of the essence. When none of the accepted avenues of thought or behavior make sense any longer, they wander into an unknown territory of magick, drug use, and shamanic exploration.

Through satire and drama, Join My Cult takes you on an inward initiatory journey and a deeply hypnotic experience.

Customer Reviews

The same dark night awaits us all.
At the time this book came into my life, I'd just been diagnosed
with cancer. I had also been re-reading Joseph Cambell, and
reading both Timothy Leary and Terence McKenna for the
first times. Extremely tired and dealing with satori-like small
seizures, I began reading this book at night as a dalliance.
An amusement with which to end the day.

As it turned out, the book was instead a compendium of
every single thing that was going on in my life. The information
in the book is dense and the effects were profound. I'd read a paragraph or three a night, and just go to sleep thinking about them.
It was as if I'd stumbled on a primer for chaos theory, hidden in
a mirror passing itself off as a book. It is not possbile for me to recommend this book highly enough to psychonauts, cyberpunks, and misfits of all shapes and sizes. It's a real hoot. A great trip.
Tune in, turn on, abandon hope, and welcome to the Mother
Hive Brain. Enjoy!!!

I'm going to write a book about solipsism and dedicate it to you for making me go crazy

Thought provoking
I have to admit I didn't understand everything, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. In some places the author intentionally makes it difficult to tell who is speaking, or even what is going on, but I think that confusion was intentional... If the character gets confused, you get confused too. When I decided to consider myself a character inside the book, it all made a hell of a lot more sense. Connections kept occuring between things happening in the book, and then things I'd see on TV or read in other books later in the day. It also reminded me a lot of experiences I had, which probably helped me connect with it. By about 3/4 of the way through I started having dreams that seemed to connect to the book. In one case one of the characters in my dream actually explained a section I was having a hard time understanding. Really bizarre book. Really bizarre experience.
