The book addresses the little-studied area of cheap paperbacks fueled by tales of drugs and sex. Most of the titles are decidedly low rent, such as I Am a Teenage Dope Addict, Reefer Girl, Pussies and Pot, and Musk, Hashish, and Blood. Others, however, represent the early works of those who later became spokespeople for the beat generation: Speed by William S. Burroughs (introduced by Allen Ginsberg), Gentleman Junkie by Harlan Ellison, The Pusher by Ed. McBain, Junkie by William Lee (a pseudonym for William S. Burroughs), and The Horn by John Clellon Holmes. Regarding the last of these, Gertz cites a 1959 Time Magazine review that says, ''The Horn was so hip that he just did not care. He had all the booze, all the drugs, all the women and he could blow his horn so marvelously. .. The most interesting novel about the jazz world since Dorothy Baker's Young Man with a Horn'' (114). In addition to exploring the relationship among beatniks, jazz, and drugs, the book suggests other themes in drug paperbacks: juvenile delinquents, women gone bad, men gone crazy, peace, love, LSD, and rock music. Psychedelic Sex, Sex; Pot and Acid; Psychedelic Sex Rebellion, and We Are the People our Parents Warned Us Against speak to the continuing influence of the hippie movement. The well-documented text of Dope Menace is filled with solid historical and critical information, including substantive quotations from the drug paperbacks and popular reviews. However, its emphasis is on the cover art of the books. Lavishly illustrated with fullpage color glossy images, Dope Menace takes the reader through several decades of lurid images, providing an excellent chronology of the sleazy world of pulp erotica.

Known as Anabaptism, it emerged as a radical alternative to Lutheranism. A variety of Anabaptists formed in Switzerland, Holland, and the German states. For their nonconformity, such as refusing to have their children baptized, believers suffered persecution. They would coalesce into sectarian groups, such as the Hutterites, Swiss Brethren, and Mennonites. British Baptists surfaced in the early 17th century, influenced by English Separatism and Dutch Anabaptism. The religion then spread to Ireland, Wales, and the American colonies. A primary tenet of Anabaptists and Baptists is adult baptism. They also advocate justification by grace, divine sovereignty, the priesthood of all believers, the authority of the Bible, and congregationalism. Membership in a Baptist congregation demands authentic conversion to gain entry. Adult baptism by immersion, officiated by a regenerate minister, is a primary rite of the...
