Initially started as a fanzine in 1979, Rapid Eye quickly became something bigger and more fully formed. Dwyer had started Rapid Eye as a zine after he moved to London amid the cultural tumult of post-punk in 1978. Developed through the eighties, it culminated in 1989 with the first of three ambitious coffee-table volumes.
Here we have the first of three volumes of Simon Dwyer's collected interviews and writings from hallowed contributors such as Kathy Acker, William Burroughs, Aleister Crowley, Brion Gysin, Derek Jarman, Charles Manson, Psychic TV and Genesis P-Orrdige, Hubert Selby, Austin Spare and Colin Wilson. Alongside articles and essays on Alchemy, UFOs, Mescalin and Body Modification.
