The Acid Kings (and Shrinks Without Borders‪)‬

A successful drug gangster and trafficker named Blank writes a memoir called THE ACID KINGS about his drug life and his love life, from his high school days in the 1960's to the now of 2018 that he currently lives in. (He folds in his own novel called "Shrinks Without Borders" that he wrote about group therapy, partly narrated by a sentient computer.) The memoir views the world as a neurologic party that can only be understood by consuming copious amounts of hallucinogenic drugs, especially LSD and marijuana, and it is incumbent upon Blank and the rest of the Acid Kings to supply the drugs that fuel the party. Blank tells stories about some of his acid trips and about his sexual encounters with girls and women, including his high school Acid Queen known as the Healawhile Kid and with his life partner Acid Queen named Magdalene who he meets in college. He describes his feelings about his mixed-race origins and about "passing." He tells stories about drug trafficking.

Blank is inspired to write the memoir by the memory of his best friend in high school and college, Jeffery Jellery, who died by drowning in 1983. Blank says we are all traveling on the end-of-the-world road to Death and must find ourselves in the ordeal known as the tunnel under the world. Death is always ready and waiting. Blank reveals some of his encounters with Death and also his trips to the mental hospital. He recounts Acid flashbacks that he continues to have years after his last actual Acid trip. He calls the effect of drug use (especially tripping) as being "more than a mile high." He considers himself permanently more than a mile high in the current now of 2018. Blank's novel "Shrinks Without Borders," is narrated by two different voices. A disembodied sentient computer eavesdrops on the thoughts of six group therapy patients and their shrinks, friends and family, like a ghost with witness eyes. The second voice is in the third-person telling stories of the group's evolution from different character's points of view.

Blank has discovered that his memoir has been plagiarized by the so-called "author" of the novel A BOOK OF CHANCES (previously published on Smashwords under the suspicious pseudonym of William A Kincaid III). Blank fights back by using the same pseudonym for THE ACID KINGS (and SHRINKS WITHOUT BORDERS).
