Description
Bore Hole by Joe Mellen is a deeply personal and introspective memoir that explores the author's journey into the heart of psychedelic culture in 1960s England. Through his experiences with hashish, LSD, and other substances, Mellen recounts his struggles to break free from traditional English upbringing and find his place in the world. The book takes readers on a path through Morocco, Ibiza, and London, as Mellen navigates the vibrant and often chaotic landscape of the psychedelic scene. Along the way, he meets influential figures and attempts a groundbreaking experiment: the bore hole. This expanded edition includes previously unseen archive photographs, new essays, appendices, and a rare 1967 interview with Bart Huges. With its unique blend of memoir, cultural commentary, and historical context, Bore Hole offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in British history.
