Technologically-assisted art before the internet: "Brion Gysin’s whirling Dreamachine No 9 lantern and Marina Apolloni’s Circular Dynamics 6S+S, which resembles a rotating tondo by Bridget Riley, are all the more trippy for their technical simplicity."

Check out the amazing book trailer for The Protos Experiment. It gives a powerful flavour of the film I scripted with Brian Avenet-Bradley. Dystopian psychological horror set in a prison that is nothing less than hell on Earth.

Thank you to everyone who so generously reviewed/rated the Blood Crazy series. That really does help out me, as the author, and the publisher, @dvpublishing.bsky.social Please do consider rating or reviewing the books if you get chance. It is hugely appreciated.
Cheers Rich. Please do add us to the list.
Been just on 10 years since I gave this talk. It was a condensed version of two longer lectures at the time. Still think it's a pretty good run down of how cinematic depictions of psychedelics in the 60s and 70s effectively mirrored cultural attitudes to the drugs.
Hi Rich. We are a publisher whose field includes horror, psychedelics and counterculture – eg. 'Man of Letters' by Roger Keen. Thought your presentation on psychedelic film was most instructive.

When everyone over the age of nineteen undergoes a profound and inexplicable psychological transmutation, young people must fight to survive amid the ruins of civilization.
The Protos Experiment. My novel of the film has a powerhouse of a book trailer, which also captures some terrifically vivid images from the film. Please check the trailer out here: www.dv-publishing.com
