Brendan Mullen / Don Bolles / Adam Parfrey "Lexicon Devil: The Fast Times And Short Life Of Darby Crash And The Germs" - Book

"Lexicon Devil," an oral history that probes the brains of over 100 characters and contains 140 never-before-seen photos, goes beyond early punk rock into secret regions of suicide, mind control, suppressed sexuality, corrosive humor, self-abuse, and addictions to rock celebrity, drugs, and cults. Thieves, surfers, skinheads, nymphettes, chickenhawks, skateboarders, Scientologists, boho artists, under-age sadomasochistic punk kids, and TV stars confront and hustle each other in a late-'70s Los Angeles history that reads like bowdlerized chapters of "Hollywood Babylon" that have finally come to light.

6" x 9", paperback, 296 pages.
