The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch

Dick, Philip K.

Overview

“A psychedelic odyssey of hallucinations-within-hallucinations from which no reader emerges unscathed.â€â€” Boston GlobeOn Mars, the harsh climate could make any colonist turn to drugs to escape a dead-end existence. Especially when the drug is Can-D, which translates its users into the idyllic world of a Barbie-esque character named Perky Pat. When the mysterious Palmer Eldritch arrives with a new drug called Chew-Z, he offers a more addictive experience, one that might bring the user closer to God. But in a world where everyone is tripping, no promises can be taken at face value. This Nebula Award nominee is one of Philip K. Dickâ€s enduring classics, at once a deep character study, a dark mystery, and a tightrope walk along the edge of reality and illusion.
