A Kabbalistic Tree of Life built into the architecture of the city of Olympia, Washington, provides the setting for this psychedelic Walden Pond. Part travel guide, part intimate memoir, part gonzo self-help book, Accidental Initiations is that rare literary feat: a living document. Invite yourself into its pages and prepare to be transformed, initiated and entertained. Whether Jones is holding forth on concepts such as The Pop Oracle, A Balanced Diet of Cults, Honor Among Men, or introducing readers to the artifact that gives the book its name, he does so with wit and a provocateur's knack for raising difficult issues. At the heart of his story is Jones' quest for justice and "awesomeness" in the face of what he calls "the boring haters." It's a personal tale of a man, a magickal item, and a small town on the banks of a vortex. --Back cover.

Greatly expanded and updated from the 1977 original, this new edition explores the evolution of the modern horror film, particularly as it reflects anxieties associated with the atomic bomb, the Cold War, 1960s violence, sexual liberation, the Reagan revolution, 9/11 and the Iraq War. It divides modern horror into three varieties (psychological, demonic and apocalyptic) and demonstrates how horror cinema represents the popular expression of everyday fears while revealing the forces that influence American ideological and political values. Directors given a close reading include Alfred Hitchcock, Brian De Palma, David Cronenberg, Guillermo Del Toro, Michael Haneke, Robert Aldrich, Mel Gibson and George A. Romero. Additional material discusses postmodern remakes, horror franchises and Asian millennial horror. This book also contains more than 950 frame grabs and a very extensive filmography.
