Against the Fascist Creep by Alexander Reid Ross (AK Press) $16.95 – As the election of Donald Trump shows, fascism in all its white nationalist and “alt-right” permutations is alive and well in the United States. A terrifying tour of the history and influence of the forces that helped bring the forty-fifth president to power, Against the Fascist Creep maps the connections and names the names. It traces today’s often-disguised forms of rightwing extremism through the decades and across the globe to show how infiltration is a conscious and clandestine program for neofascist groups that seek to co-opt and undermine both mainstream and left-wing institutions in order to win elections, take political power, and create a new racist and authoritarian society.

Faraway Beach by Nathan Cowdry $5.00 – This mini-comic ages like a fine wine with a full pervy base accompanied by notes of complex emotion, lolz and fragile egos. The author seems sexually obsessed and much of the story revolves around the male gaze, however the objects of desire are much more than just that. There’s a possible dog murder, rejection of pubic grooming and several sexy ladies holding large guns, giving them a feminist touch. Gorgeous drawings and solid story telling make this gem a must read. NSFW. ~CH

Shamanic Graffiti: 100,000 Years of Drugs, 100 Years of Prohibition by Frank Ogden, Marcus Ashley Rummery (Trine Day) $19.95 – Freud said dreams were the “royal road” to the unconscious, and then along came a superhighway: psychedelics. Personally, we can access the psychedelic experience, but Frank Ogden shepherded over a thousand people’s experiences. What is presented is the howling unconscious released from the normal chemical constraints that restrict it. Written in the simple, but vivid style Frank popularized in his bestselling, The Last Book You’ll Ever Read, Shamanic Graffiti presents an alternative history of the brain and it’s functions: shamanism. Giving real world examples, the book finishes-up by exploring the theories of two pre-eminent psychedelic theoreticians, Dr. Timothy Leary and Dr. Stan Grof and looks at the future of psychedelic drugs.
