Hello PKD fans. A land deal goes south, and someone has to take the fall. Revenge is the name of the game in this cat-and-cat thriller set in a small coastal town in Northern California. Who will win the neighborhood, their pride, and possibly even the water company in this battle of wits—even more importantly—what do three DickHeads think of all this? Plus: Wackadooey. Maybe it's because I'm simple.

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.

Hello, and welcome back. Richard Linklater's 2006 adaptation of A Scanner Darkly is considered by many to be the ultimate adaption of a Philip K. Dick novel. But is it perfect?

And the balls to put a talking dog in it.
