(PRWEB) May 10, 2005 -- Listen to Mike Gill, author of "Mind Crash", in a streamed "on-demand" interview with Global Talk Radio, where he discusses the purpose of the book, its obscure origins, and the unique writing techniques utilised whilst writing the book: http://www.globaltalkradio.com/shows/astorytotell

Mind Crash sets out to explore the deepest recesses of the human psyche through the utilisation of several, often brutal, language exploration techniques.

The results - a seemingly random collection of metaphysical short stories, cut-ups, koans, poems and automatic writing - are often as unsettling as they are darkly humorous.

Whilst employing these frequently painful mental gymnastic routines, the author unwittingly unleashes, and subsequently exorcises, a number of allegorical demons.

Do not forget to bolt your windows whilst reading it.

Mind Crash originally started life as a series of sporadic newsletters, available through subscription only, for a selective band of cultural mischief-makers strewn across the USA, Europe and Japan.

These long-since out of print works, together with previously unpublished pieces, have now been composed into a single volume for the very first time.

Mind Crash was published on March 18, 2005 by iUniverse, Inc. ISBN: 0-595-34869-6. Price: $13.95.

The book is available direct from the publishers at 1-800-Authors (1-800-288-4677), or visit www.iuniverse.com, or from Amazon, Barnes and Noble and all good book sellers everywhere.

Early Customer Reviews:
Monkeys and Typewriters... Someone once said something along the lines of 'given enough time and a typewriter, an infinite number of monkeys will produce the complete works of Shakespeare. Well if you reduced the number of monkeys to a manageable level (think of the noise, for chrisakes!), threw in some LSD and a ouija board, I'm sure the results would be similar to Mind Crash!" **** Four Stars

"Wow! ...This book certainly lived up to the promise made on the cover: "A poke in the third eye with a sharp stick" - though I personally think the promise could be amended to "A chainsaw through the Corpus Callosum"! ...made my head hurt - literally! The writing style is like nothing I have experienced before: Hints of William S. Burroughs, Aleister Crowley, Alan Watts - even William Gibson. Guaranteed to make you question your own sanity ...Unnerving at times, yet possesses the wonderful ability to make one laugh out loud, but in a manic kind of attention-grabbing way." **** Four Stars

Dark, twisted and nihilistic - but in a nice way! ...it appears to break all the rules... one chapter is written entirely without punctuation... Another chapter is completely blank... capable of bringing me, quite literally, to tears: Of Joy, and Pain!... Recommended reading for soul searchers, mind explorers and acid casualties everywhere." **** Four Stars

"Meltdown! ...From start to finish, it boggles the mind! From the strange and unexplained picture on the jacket, through the intro pages, and beyond... chapters are written by God knows who or what: Little green men from out of space, or angry spirits from the astral plane - who knows! ...makes a valiant attempt to unravel the mysteries of life, death, space, infinity, religion, fried chicken, etc. ....Chic, violent, urban philosophy for today's fast moving, yet sometimes confusing, world that we inhabit." Recommended
