EASTER SUNDAY, 1973: Just before dawn in Kingsburg, California, six-year-old Gordon Swannson, asthmatic boy genius, gets his ass kicked by a spectral Easter Bunny--an event that sends his already hyperactive imagination spiraling toward paranoia. Gordon becomes convinced that ghosts and other weird entities inhabit a daimonic reality that can interact with our everyday world. He starts seeing mystery and danger everywhere in his isolated farming community. He even thinks his best friend, Jimmy, might be possessed by demons....JUNE 7th, 1979: Reality catches up with Gordons worst imaginings on the day after his thirteenth birthday, when his father dies by crashing a Cessna into the living room of their house. Gordon sets out to discover whether the plane crash was an accident or something far more sinister. Before he finds the answer, hell experience puberty, Pink Floyd, trout fishing, lesbian vampire movies, and midnight cliff-diving with the Hells Angels--all while learning to cope with the trauma-induced narcolepsy that inspires his nickname, Crash Gordon....HALLOWEEN, 1982: Gordon meets Jimmys Uncle Lloyd, an obscenely rich insurance broker to the rocket industry who makes Woodward and Bernsteins Deep Throat look like a low-level bureaucrat. With Lloyd acting as their demented mentor, Gordon and his friends embark on a road trip to the Esalen Institute in Big Sur. Along the way, Lloyd lectures them about such diverse topics as hypnotism, assassination theories, MKULTRA, COINTELPRO, and the kidnapping of Patty Hearst; serial killers, satanic sacrifices, interdimensional energy portals, and the remote viewing program at the Stanford Research Institute; shamanism, ayahuasca, Terence McKennas tryptamine-fueled encounters with the Logos, and the role future causality plays in the worlds current fate. And thats only a prelude to Lloyds startling explanation of how Gordon and Jimmy have become unwitting participants in a CIA mind control experiment known as Project MONARCH....

In the very near future, only the rich and the devious have privacy. The Snowden Avalanche has revealed the private transgressions of ordinary US citizens in such astonishing numbers that the whole aggrieved nation has come to the collective decision that the Puritan prudery of America's first settlers finally, and forever, has to be kicked to the curb.Manhattan-based iAesthetician Sabina Hrafnsson has made a lucrative career out of buffing up the images of those who got caught in the Snowden Avalanche with their metaphorical (and sometimes literal) pants down. Aside from her sucky luck at romance, she's happy with the way things have turned out. But when Sabina agrees to do some PR work for a secretive Wall Street billionaire';the Thomas Pynchon of high-frequency trading firm CEOs'the complications in her life suddenly go viral.Sabina becomes entangled in a web of conspiracies so vast and bizarre that it soon feels like she's living a sequel to Orwell's 1984. Only this time Big Brother faces a more formidable foe than Winston Smith: a wily and gleefully foul-mouthed New York City blonde who looks ';like that intrepid Alpine waif, Heidi, all grown up into a high-strung slut wearing see-through yoga pants from Lululemon.'If Big Brother has any plans for slut-shaming, he'd better watch his f#@king back

YALDABAOTH HAS A PROBLEM: a pesky author named Derek Swannson has been writing books that veer too close to the truth about the Lord of the Illuminati's underground activities on Earth.Intent on destroying Swannson's reputation by fueling his gonzo appetites with the rewards of American capitalism, Yaldabaoth enlists the help of Jeb Beezos, the CEO of Glamazona global Internet juggernaut that's made Beezos one of the world's richest menand Conye Best, a superstar rapper who happens to be married to the world's most famous reality TV star, Limn Lardassian.What follows is a parody of an increasingly totalitarian society that's already on the verge of parodying itselfa skewering of the dark side of American pop culture and the Deep State's pathocratic agenda that's darkly funny because it's so deeply true. Crash Gordon and the Illuminati Underground combines political satire, paranormal romance, surrealistic fantasy, and slapstick humor into a remarkably entertaining and unforgettable story that will forever change the way you think about the extremes of fame, wealth, and power.

An amnesiac convalescing in Big Sur encounters an oddly sinister envoy from the Freemasons Scottish Rite Psychophrenic Research Program.... A stoned surfer trespassing on Hearst Castle property gets hauled up into the sky by a massive flying black triangle.... A notorious starlet attending the wrap party for her first major Hollywood movie assassinates a Moscow journalist with a bottle of radioactive nasal spray....

Ex-CIA Director George H. W. Bush is calling the shots as Vice President. Intelligence agency black budgets are on the rise. Ronald Reagans trickle-down economics has been trickling upon the American populace for nearly eight years. Its been a non-stop champagne bash for the rich, whove become much richer, but for the middle class and the poor the trickling has acted like acidic piss, burning gaping holes in their social safety nets. Is the increase in suffering intentional? Gordon Swannson thinks so--and he has the metaphysics to prove it. Sort of.Fresh from a five-year resident scholar program at the Esalen Institute, Gordon (Crash to his friends) arrives in the sleepy seaside town of Cambria, California, to deliver a lecture titled Galactic Loosh Farming and Reaganomics: How Much Longer Before the Fabric of Reality is Ripped to Shreds? Its the start of a bizarre chain of events that will launch Gordons career as an investigative journalist and entangle him with a cast of characters that includes: James Marrsden, a gleefully foul-mouthed radio DJ and Gordons untrustworthy childhood best friend; Kayleigh Fuller, a stoner witch who happens to be the niece of Buckminster Fuller; Skeeze Lester Huntley, a porn-addicted surfer whose alien abduction inspired him to become the Dope King of Central California; Rina Rowley, a lovely young actress with a shockingly ugly past; and looming largest of all, James morbidly obese and obscenely wealthy Uncle Lloyd, super secret black-ops bagman for the medico-military-occult complex... and matchmaker.Determined to uncover the truth behind Lloyds lurid tales of psychic killers and a mind control program known as Project MONARCH, Gordon chases down leads from Cambria to Amsterdams red-light district and the Brussels headquarters of an alien-inspired sex cult calling itself The OD Institute--getting a profound education in the machinations behind the 20th centurys greatest unexplained mysteries along the way. Seeking the final piece to the puzzle, Gordon returns to his roots in the isolated, faux-Swedish town of Kingsburg, where those mysteries began. What he finds there will send him hurtling toward a climactic showdown against a naked assassin dead set on turning the Cold War into a hot mess.Crash Gordon and the Revelations from Big Sur is the big, shaggy conspiracy novel that everyone has always wanted to read--without actually knowing it. Theres a reason for that. They dont want you to know about it.You do know theres a They, dont you?
