Phantasmagoria

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Phantasmagoria is a twelve-story collection spanning 95 years that traces the discovery, weaponization, cultural spread and ultimate mysteries of consciousness-altering substances and technologies. What begins as a whimsical account of Albert Hofmann's accidental LSD trip evolves into a sweeping examination of how tools for altering consciousness become instruments of control, liberation, chaos, and finally, revelation.

Phantasmagoria is not a conventional short story collection. It functions as a linked historical mosaic. A thematic progression charting nearly a century of human consciousness encountering, resisting, and ultimately being reshaped by successive systems of control.
