The band’s image adorned psychedelic posters and its music was the theme for an alternative lifestyle.\r\n\r\nRose and partner Mike Heron believed in, and lived, a naive vision of utopia in Scotland, but they were also a band on tour, enjoying the thrills of that life. They were at the centre of Swinging London and at New York\'s Chelsea Hotel with Andy Warhol’s superstars. They shared stages with rock idols and played at Woodstock in 1969. Rose and fellow ISB member Licorice were hippie pin-ups, while Heron and Robin Williamson the seers and prophets of a new world.\r\n\r\nThrough a haze of incense and marijuana, they played out their Arcadian dreams on stages brilliant with the colours of clothes, light-shows, rugs, cushions, and exotic instruments. But like most utopias, the ISB’s imploded, leading from psychedelic dream-world to the harsh alternate realities of Scientology and celebrity.\r\n\r\nNever seeing herself as a professional musician, Rose retained an outsider’s detachment even while living the life of a hippie chick.

A beautifully-written, thought-provoking account of a woman’s attempt to create a space for herself in a male-dominated musical world.\r\n</em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Alasdair Roberts</span></strong></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\nBetween 1967 and 1971 Rose Simpson lived with the Incredible String Band (Mike Heron, Robin Williamson and Licorice McKechnie), morphing from English student to West Coast hippie and, finally, bassist in leathers. The band’s image adorned psychedelic posters and its music was the theme for an alternative lifestyle.\r\n\r\nRose and partner Mike Heron believed in, and lived, a naive vision of utopia in Scotland, but they were also a band on tour, enjoying the thrills of that life. They were at the centre of Swinging London and at New York\'s Chelsea Hotel with Andy Warhol’s superstars. They shared stages with rock idols and played at Woodstock in 1969. Rose and fellow ISB member Licorice were hippie pin-ups, while Heron and Robin Williamson the seers and prophets of a new world.\r\n\r\nThrough a haze of incense and marijuana, they played out their Arcadian dreams on stages brilliant with the colours of clothes, light-shows, rugs, cushions, and exotic instruments. But like most utopias, the ISB’s imploded, leading from psychedelic dream-world to the harsh alternate realities of Scientology and celebrity.\r\n\r\nNever seeing herself as a professional musician, Rose retained an outsider’s detachment even while living the life of a hippie chick. Her dreamy, yet firmly-grounded memoir gives voice to those flower-wreathed girls whose photographs have become symbols of the psychedelic sixties.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\r\n<div class=\"section\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\r\n<div class=\"section\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n\r\n<em>In lucid, lovely, and lilting prose, Rose Simpson brings to life her experiences as a member of one of the greatest psychedelic folk bands. With refreshing honesty and an attuned sensibility to the ethos of the period and its indispensable soundtrack, Rose’s memoir offers a sharp personal portrait of the music scene at the twilight of the 60s and dawn of the 70s. This memoir couldn’t be timelier. In the last ten years, a growing body of life writing has shone a much-needed light on women’s contributions to the counterculture, and particularly within the supposedly male domain of the music industry. This book can be placed alongside recent classics of musical memoir from artists as wide-ranging as Cosey Fanni Tutti, Shirley Collins, Patti Smith, Kim Gordon and Viv Albertine. Much more than muse, than odalisque, than handmaiden: Rose Simpson’s book reveals to us what it means to live together and to co-create: to push at the boundaries of radical possibility, both in art and in life.\r\n</em><strong>Dr Sophia Satchell-Baeza</strong>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\r\n<div class=\"section\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\r\n<div class=\"section\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n\r\n<em>Rose Simpson’s memoir is warm-hearted yet clear-sighted, at once dazzled and wry. This is a legendary, magical time told from a new perspective, by a young woman who was both witness and participant in the very male late Sixties music scene. </em><em>Perceptive and acute in its reflections... it\'s a moving story about encountering something astounding and transformative early in one’s life, and in the end needing to leave it for sanity’s sake.

Why do we find ourselves so attracted to the cheap and vulgar, the discarded, the misshapen and the abject? What do we really mean when we say that something is “so bad it\'s good,” and what finally does it say about us? Part personal confession and part historical roadmap of tales from the underground and exploitation movie scene in America during the 1960s, Inferno takes the reader on a journey deep into the heart of the trash experience.\n\nWith Inferno, Hollings offers a complex and intricate timeline of connections, coincidences, and resonances that have mostly gone unnoticed.

Smith of legendary post-punk group The Fall and screenwriter Graham Duff co-wrote the script for a horror feature film entitled <i>The Otherwise</i>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>The Fall are recording an EP in an isolated recording studio on Pendle Hill. The surrounding Lancashire landscape is at the mercy of a Satanic biker gang, and haunted by Scottish clansmen who have slipped through time from the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span></i></p>\r\nEvery film production company they showed it to said it was “too weird” to ever be made. Yes, <i>The Otherwise </i>is weird. It’s also witty, shocking, and genuinely scary. Now the screenplay is published for the first time, alongside handwritten notes and previously unpublished photographs by Jim Moir and Smith’s widow and Fall keyboardist Elena Poulou.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAlso within are essays by Duff and Poulou, and transcripts of conversations between Smith and Duff, in which they discuss creativity, dreams, musical loves (from Can to acid house) and favourite films (from <i>Britannia Hospital</i> to <i>White Heat</i>).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>The hardback edition of 500 also comes with a copy of Graham Duff\'s 128 page paperback <em>The Future\'s Here to Stay: The Singles of The Fall:</em></strong>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/the-otherwise/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6715\"><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-6715\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/TFHTS-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"374\" height=\"544\" /></a>\r\n\r\nWith Manchester’s visionary frontman Mark E. Smith as their one constant, The Fall were the most individual and influential group of their era. From post punk angularity to mutant rockabilly and machine-driven garage rock, via slanted Northern pop, The Fall were one of Britain’s last great singles bands. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs well as their own unmistakable songs, The Fall’s single discography also takes in a panoramic range of cover versions, including the psychedelia of The Move, the northern soul of R. Dean Taylor, the country rock of George Jones, the quintessential Englishness of The Kinks and William Blake’s ‘Jerusalem’.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">   </span>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">   </span>Covering a diverse and thrilling run of over 50 releases between 1978 and 2016, Graham Duff has interviewed key members of The Fall, including Marc Riley, Elena Poulou, Simon Wolstencroft, Keiron Melling, Una Baines, Tim Presley and Paul Hanley.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">About the authors:</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>MARK E.

The band’s image adorned psychedelic posters and its music was the theme for an alternative lifestyle.\r\n\r\nRose and partner Mike Heron believed in, and lived, a naive vision of utopia in Scotland, but they were also a band on tour, enjoying the thrills of that life. They were at the centre of Swinging London and at New York\'s Chelsea Hotel with Andy Warhol’s superstars. They shared stages with rock idols and played at Woodstock in 1969. Rose and fellow ISB member Licorice were hippie pin-ups, while Heron and Robin Williamson the seers and prophets of a new world.\r\n\r\nThrough a haze of incense and marijuana, they played out their Arcadian dreams on stages brilliant with the colours of clothes, light-shows, rugs, cushions, and exotic instruments. But like most utopias, the ISB’s imploded, leading from psychedelic dream-world to the harsh alternate realities of Scientology and celebrity.\r\n\r\nNever seeing herself as a professional musician, Rose retained an outsider’s detachment even while living the life of a hippie chick. Her dreamy, yet firmly-grounded memoir gives voice to those flower-wreathed girls whose photographs have become symbols of the psychedelic sixties.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\r\n<div class=\"section\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\r\n<div class=\"section\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n\r\n<em>In lucid, lovely, and lilting prose, Rose Simpson brings to life her experiences as a member of one of the greatest psychedelic folk bands. With refreshing honesty and an attuned sensibility to the ethos of the period and its indispensable soundtrack, Rose’s memoir offers a sharp personal portrait of the music scene at the twilight of the 60s and dawn of the 70s. This memoir couldn’t be timelier. In the last ten years, a growing body of life writing has shone a much-needed light on women’s contributions to the counterculture, and particularly within the supposedly male domain of the music industry.

This, his rich and enthralling story of a lifestyle now gone forever, was dictated as his portrait was being painted in 1956.

His destiny arrives when the body of a young woman is dumped on the banks of the Thames. She’s the first in a series of murders whose naked victims are left in and along the river. Pete’s search for the phantom killer will lead him deep into London’s underbelly as the 1960s start to swing.\n\nMeanwhile Stella Reade, an art student living in bohemian Ladbroke Grove, is woken by terrifying nightmares that echo the last hours of the murdered women – all of whom have been plucked from the streets around her home. Streets where fascists and Teddy boys, migrants and anarchists chase illicit thrills with gangsters and lords.\n\n<em>Bad Penny Blues</em> is inspired by the ‘Jack the Stripper’ case of 1959-65, which sparked the biggest manhunt in Metropolitan Police history but was never solved.\n\n<strong>About the Author</strong>\n\nCathi Unsworth is the author of six pop-cultural noir novels, and the co-author of <em>Defying Gravity</em>, the life and times of punk icon Jordan.

When a mysterious man moves in next door, Dovey hopes for a romance like the ones in the novels she secretly devours. But a dark truth, hidden since childhood, erupts shockingly in a violent otherworldly intrusion, catapulting her into a desperate struggle for her life and sanity.\r\n\r\nSet in a haunted northern California landscape populated by poets, New Agers, stoners, and burnouts, <em>Neighbor George</em> is a deeply atmospheric story of psychological horror enacted in the space where the natural and supernatural collide, a mythic territory of possession shared by its comic companion tale, <em>Bolinas Venus</em>, also included in this volume.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n\"[Neighbor George] plays with and subverts the calculus of desire… deconstructing it psychologically and as a genre, as Gothic Romance gives way to Gothic Horror… The novel draws its marvelous sense of atmosphere from the years Nelson lived in the West Marin town of Bolinas in the late 1970s, and her feel for the dark side of its poetry Bohemia is clearly hard earned... The story goes through<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>some marvelous twists and turns—including one literal twist and turn that punctures the everyday veneer of the story with unsettling anomaly, and that now seems to have taken up a permanent home in my memory palace of Weird lit.\" <strong>Erik Davis</strong>, author of <em>High Weirdness</em>\r\n\r\n\"This is not just a horror novel, not just a coming-of-age psychological thriller, but (like all of Victoria Nelson’s work) it subverts and questions the trappings – the very roots – of genre. It is deeper than death or initiation alone – rather it\'s about what is written in our bodies from the other side, before we are born, in the womb, and how we are messengers in that way, to the outer world. And the ways we cover up the old injuries until the time comes to re-open and heal them. And within that personal – and collective, AND seemingly impossible – struggle for autonomy and truth, we find our power – in that we attempt it at all.\" <strong> Sibyl Kempson</strong>, <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"caret-color: #000000;\">playwright.</span></span>\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n\r\n\"If Stephen King and Alfred Hitchcock had collaborated to write a novel that would scare you senseless, they might have come up with Victoria Nelson\'s <i>Neighbor George</i>. Lulled for the first few pages by Nelson\'s brilliant description of Bolinas, a laid-back, eccentric small town in West Marin, California, you may soon find yourself double locking your doors and searching frantically for a nightlight as Nelson piles on twist after unexpected twist, horror after unexpected horror in this deadly dance of predator and prey.\"\r\n<strong>Mary Mackey</strong>, author of <em>A Grand Passion.\r\n</em>\r\n<p class=\"mq\">\"In this vivid page-turning gothic novel centered around the wry portrait of a decaying California left-coast hamlet on the fog-bound Pacific, a thirst-for-life quest turns ominously into a journey into self-abolishment and murder as Victoria Nelson exposes old lust meeting young need and New Age wacky mantras colliding with hungry ghosts seeking souls in a bohemian utopia haunted by restless spirits and death drives. Light-drenched and wit filled, brilliantly composed, <i>Neighbor George</i> will join canonical California novels like Maxine Hong Kingston\'s <i>Tripmaster Monkey</i>, Denis Johnson\'s <i>Almost Dead</i>, Thomas Pynchon\'s <i>Vineland</i>, and Louis B. Jones\'s <i>California\'s Over</i>.\"\r\n<strong>Rob Sean Wilson, </strong>author of<em> Waking in Seoul</em>, <em>Be Always Converting, Be Always Converted</em>, and <em>Beat Attitudes.</em></p>\r\n<strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR\r\n</strong><strong>Victoria Nelson</strong> is the author of two acclaimed cultural histories of the supernatural, <em>The Secret Life of Puppets</em> and <em>Gothicka</em>, two collections of short stories, and a memoir.

Smith of legendary post-punk group The Fall and screenwriter Graham Duff co-wrote the script for a horror feature film entitled <i>The Otherwise</i>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>The Fall are recording an EP in an isolated recording studio on Pendle Hill. The surrounding Lancashire landscape is at the mercy of a Satanic biker gang, and haunted by Scottish clansmen who have slipped through time from the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span></i></p>\r\nEvery film production company they showed it to said it was “too weird” to ever be made. Yes, <i>The Otherwise </i>is weird. It’s also witty, shocking, and genuinely scary. Now the screenplay is published for the first time, alongside handwritten notes and previously unpublished photographs by Jim Moir and Smith’s widow and Fall keyboardist Elena Poulou.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAlso within are essays by Duff and Poulou, and transcripts of conversations between Smith and Duff, in which they discuss creativity, dreams, musical loves (from Can to acid house) and favourite films (from <i>Britannia Hospital</i> to <i>White Heat</i>).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>The hardback edition of 500 also comes with a copy of Graham Duff\'s 128 page paperback <em>The Future\'s Here to Stay: The Singles of The Fall:</em></strong>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/the-otherwise/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6715\"><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-6715\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/TFHTS-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"374\" height=\"544\" /></a>\r\n\r\nWith Manchester’s visionary frontman Mark E. Smith as their one constant, The Fall were the most individual and influential group of their era. From post punk angularity to mutant rockabilly and machine-driven garage rock, via slanted Northern pop, The Fall were one of Britain’s last great singles bands. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs well as their own unmistakable songs, The Fall’s single discography also takes in a panoramic range of cover versions, including the psychedelia of The Move, the northern soul of R. Dean Taylor, the country rock of George Jones, the quintessential Englishness of The Kinks and William Blake’s ‘Jerusalem’.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">   </span>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">   </span>Covering a diverse and thrilling run of over 50 releases between 1978 and 2016, Graham Duff has interviewed key members of The Fall, including Marc Riley, Elena Poulou, Simon Wolstencroft, Keiron Melling, Una Baines, Tim Presley and Paul Hanley.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">About the authors:</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>MARK E.

As a result, her visual and written works have only recently begun to receive the recognition they deserve as daring experiments in magical art, autobiography and esoteric feminism.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAs the influential role of occult ideas in the history of art becomes ever clearer, Colquhoun\'s work is long overdue a fresh consideration. \'Genius of the Fern Loved Gully\' balances engaging biography with historical erudition and critical insight into her art and writing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/ithell-colquhoun/attachment/scylla-1938-by-ithell-colquhoun-1906-1988/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6571\"><img class=\" wp-image-6571\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/IC2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"416\" height=\"644\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\r\n<div class=\"section\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n\r\n<b>ABOUT THE AUTHOR</b>\r\n\r\nDr Amy Hale is a Folklorist and Anthropologist specialising in modern Cornwall and contemporary esoteric history and culture.  She has published widely on topics such as modern Druidry, Cornish ethnonationalism,\r\nArthurian lore, colour theory, occult aesthetics, and extremist politics in modern Paganism.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nShe resides in Atlanta with her family, five cats, and a 250-year-old oak tree.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/ithell-colquhoun/\">Order here</a>','Ithell Colquhoun','Genius of The Fern Loved Gulley\r\nby Amy Hale\r\n304pp, 160mm x 240mm','inherit','closed','closed','','6558-revision-v1','','','2021-06-16 10:14:58','2021-06-16 10:14:58','',6558,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/?p=6777',0,'revision','',0),(6779,2,'2021-06-24 12:14:14','2021-06-24 12:14:14','<em><strong><b><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/muse-odalisque-handmaiden/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6582\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-6582\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/MOHweb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"283\" height=\"416\" /></a> A Girl\'s Life in The Incredible String Band\r\n</b></strong></em><b></b><strong><b>by Rose Simpson</b></strong><em><strong><b>\r\n</b></strong></em>\r\n\r\n<strong><b>266pp, 154mm x 240mm\r\n</b></strong><strong><b>Heavily illustrated in BW &amp; 16 colour pages, with many never-seen-before images from the author\'s personal archive.</b></strong>\r\n\r\n<del><strong>HB (edition of 500 copies) £25, with a bookplate signed by Rose Simpson</strong></del>\r\n\r\n<strong>Paperback £15.99</strong>\r\n\r\nISBN 9781907222672\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/muse-odalisque-handmaiden/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Paperback available now!</span></strong></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/muse-odalisque-handmaiden/attachment/mohweb4/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6637\"><img class=\"wp-image-6637 alignright\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/MOHWEB4-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"413\" height=\"310\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<em>Anyone with an interest in this idealistic era and its legacy will enjoy Simpson\'s wealth of vignettes and  insights.</em>  <strong>Rob Young, The Wire</strong>\r\n\r\n<em>\r\nWhat an extraordinary and intoxicating tale this is, that impossibly fabulous late ‘60s world of wild creative adventure viewed from the inside by one of the very few women playing in a band at the time.

The band’s image adorned psychedelic posters and its music was the theme for an alternative lifestyle.\r\n\r\nRose and partner Mike Heron believed in, and lived, a naive vision of utopia in Scotland, but they were also a band on tour, enjoying the thrills of that life. They were at the centre of Swinging London and at New York\'s Chelsea Hotel with Andy Warhol’s superstars. They shared stages with rock idols and played at Woodstock in 1969. Rose and fellow ISB member Licorice were hippie pin-ups, while Heron and Robin Williamson the seers and prophets of a new world.\r\n\r\nThrough a haze of incense and marijuana, they played out their Arcadian dreams on stages brilliant with the colours of clothes, light-shows, rugs, cushions, and exotic instruments. But like most utopias, the ISB’s imploded, leading from psychedelic dream-world to the harsh alternate realities of Scientology and celebrity.\r\n\r\nNever seeing herself as a professional musician, Rose retained an outsider’s detachment even while living the life of a hippie chick. Her dreamy, yet firmly-grounded memoir gives voice to those flower-wreathed girls whose photographs have become symbols of the psychedelic sixties.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\r\n<div class=\"section\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\r\n<div class=\"section\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n\r\n<em>In lucid, lovely, and lilting prose, Rose Simpson brings to life her experiences as a member of one of the greatest psychedelic folk bands. With refreshing honesty and an attuned sensibility to the ethos of the period and its indispensable soundtrack, Rose’s memoir offers a sharp personal portrait of the music scene at the twilight of the 60s and dawn of the 70s. This memoir couldn’t be timelier. In the last ten years, a growing body of life writing has shone a much-needed light on women’s contributions to the counterculture, and particularly within the supposedly male domain of the music industry. This book can be placed alongside recent classics of musical memoir from artists as wide-ranging as Cosey Fanni Tutti, Shirley Collins, Patti Smith, Kim Gordon and Viv Albertine. Much more than muse, than odalisque, than handmaiden: Rose Simpson’s book reveals to us what it means to live together and to co-create: to push at the boundaries of radical possibility, both in art and in life.\r\n</em><strong>Dr Sophia Satchell-Baeza</strong>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\r\n<div class=\"section\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\r\n<div class=\"section\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n\r\n<em>Rose Simpson’s memoir is warm-hearted yet clear-sighted, at once dazzled and wry. This is a legendary, magical time told from a new perspective, by a young woman who was both witness and participant in the very male late Sixties music scene. </em><em>Perceptive and acute in its reflections... it\'s a moving story about encountering something astounding and transformative early in one’s life, and in the end needing to leave it for sanity’s sake.

Light-drenched and wit filled, brilliantly composed, <i>Neighbor George</i> will join canonical California novels like Maxine Hong Kingston\'s <i>Tripmaster Monkey</i>, Denis Johnson\'s <i>Almost Dead</i>, Thomas Pynchon\'s <i>Vineland</i>, and Louis B. Jones\'s <i>California\'s Over</i>.\"\r\n<strong>Rob Sean Wilson, </strong>author of<em> Waking in Seoul</em>, <em>Be Always Converting, Be Always Converted</em>, and <em>Beat Attitudes.</em></p>\r\n<strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR\r\n</strong><strong>Victoria Nelson</strong> is the author of two acclaimed cultural histories of the supernatural, <em>The Secret Life of Puppets</em> and <em>Gothicka</em>, two collections of short stories, and a memoir. She edited the Robert Aickman collection <em>Compulsory Games</em> for New York Review Books.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/neighbor-george/\">PRE-ORDER HERE</a>','Neighbor George','A new novel of mythic horror set in 1970s California by Victoria Nelson, the acclaimed scholar of the supernatural.

Walks include the little-known Cock and Pye Ditch that shaped Covent Garden, Tottenham\'s Moselle River (not to be confused with the French version), the East End\'s unsavoury-sounding Black Ditch, and the mysterious channels of the Stamford Brook which hold West London in a tangled embrace.\n\nAccompanied by SF Said\'s haunting and evocative Polaroid photographs, this guidebook tracks routes that are recorded on no map, stripping back the layers to reveal London\'s veins and arteries.\n\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n<strong>About the Author\n</strong>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n\nTom Bolton is a researcher, walker and photographer who has lived and worked in London since 1996.

When a mysterious man moves in next door, Dovey hopes for a romance like the ones in the novels she secretly devours. But a dark truth, hidden since childhood, erupts shockingly in a violent otherworldly intrusion, catapulting her into a desperate struggle for her life and sanity.\r\n\r\nSet in a haunted northern California landscape populated by poets, New Agers, stoners, and burnouts, <em>Neighbor George</em> is a deeply atmospheric story of psychological horror enacted in the space where the natural and supernatural collide, a mythic territory of possession shared by its comic companion tale, <em>Bolinas Venus</em>, also included in this volume.\r\n\r\n\"If Stephen King and Alfred Hitchcock had collaborated to write a novel that would scare you senseless, they might have come up with Victoria Nelson\'s <i>Neighbor George</i>. Lulled for the first few pages by Nelson\'s brilliant description of Bolinas, a laid-back, eccentric small town in West Marin, California, you may soon find yourself double locking your doors and searching frantically for a nightlight as Nelson piles on twist after unexpected twist, horror after unexpected horror in this deadly dance of predator and prey.\"\r\n<strong>Mary Mackey</strong>, author of <em>A Grand Passion.\r\n</em>\r\n<p class=\"mq\">\"In this vivid page-turning gothic novel centered around the wry portrait of a decaying California left-coast hamlet on the fog-bound Pacific, a thirst-for-life quest turns ominously into a journey into self-abolishment and murder as Victoria Nelson exposes old lust meeting young need and New Age wacky mantras colliding with hungry ghosts seeking souls in a bohemian utopia haunted by restless spirits and death drives. Light-drenched and wit filled, brilliantly composed, <i>Neighbor George</i> will join canonical California novels like Maxine Hong Kingston\'s <i>Tripmaster Monkey</i>, Denis Johnson\'s <i>Almost Dead</i>, Thomas Pynchon\'s <i>Vineland</i>, and Louis B. Jones\'s <i>California\'s Over</i>.\"\r\n<strong>Rob Sean Wilson, </strong>author of<em> Waking in Seoul</em>, <em>Be Always Converting, Be Always Converted</em>, and <em>Beat Attitudes.</em></p>\r\n<strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR\r\n</strong><strong>Victoria Nelson</strong> is the author of two acclaimed cultural histories of the supernatural, <em>The Secret Life of Puppets</em> and <em>Gothicka</em>, two collections of short stories, and a memoir.
