Love, Sex, Fear Death: The Inside Story of the Process Church of the Final Judgment

Love, Sex, Fear Death: The Inside Story of the Process Church of the Final Judgment cured me of my fascination with the Process Church of the Final Judgment which began with my reading of Apocalypse Culture in the 80s.  

For some reason, I was expecting more action and adventure from this book.  No; it seems “Processeans” mostly just wandered around town selling magazines.  

Despite the lengthy testimonials in this book, it was pretty much impossible to figure out what benefit anyone got from joining the group — most members seemed to be merely satisfying their own psychological deficiencies while enriching the leadership.    

Still an excellent slice of life from a different time and place.

2022 Book List

 Bro’s, I never posted this.  Here it is.  

1.  My Heart Is A Chainsaw — Stephen Graham Jones

2.  A Collapse of Horses — Brian Evenson

3.  Reprieve — James Han Mattson

4.  Terminal Park —  Gary J. Shipley

5.  Dune Messiah — Frank Herbert

6.  Song for The Unraveling of The World — Brian Evenson

7. How High We Go in The Dark — Sequoia Nagamatsu


So here’s the 2022 book list.  Again, I have not read that many books.  Five out of seven of these books were given to me as gifts.  There is one more book that I started, but I will not include it here.  I think that’s my usual policy.

I won’t say anymore.  

Let’s hope next year is better.
