Editor's Note: We recommend checking out our VALIS Incident episode to get extra insight into the subject matter before diving into this one. We have dedicated this episode to the memory of Phil's good friend and fellow writer Radell Faraday Nelson 1931-2022. R.I.P. Greetings, PKD fans. David Gill joins the usual DickHeads back to discuss PKD's religious mystery novel VALIS. Horselover Fat is on a quest to find out why a pink laser beam of pure knowledge entered his brain one day and now he has strange visions and preternatural knowledge of events around him. Is Horselover a genius or a madman? Has his Rhipidon Society really found the trail to the messiah? We attempt to figure it all out. Plus: Langhorne visits a chocolate factory. Gonad Kid. And navel-gazing with Sigmund Freud. •Our Patreon ►► http://www.patreon.com/LanghorneJTweed •Electric Larryland Discord ►► https://discord.com/channels/557458722268643329 •David's YouTube Channel ►► https://www.youtube.com/user/Veganrevwithzombies/ Find David Gill: •Total Dick-Head Blog ►► http://totaldickhead.blogspot.com/ PKD News: •NYT Top PKD ►► https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/26/books/best-philip-k-dick-novels.html •Tor Severance and the PKD ►► https://www.tor.com/author/david-agranoff/ •Within you, Without You: Philip & Jane Dick ►► https://www.tor.com/author/david-gill/ Dicklike Suggestions: David's A.
