The Terminal Collection: 1966 - 1967

Hey, he's gettin his kicks on Route 66!.. but JGB's mind is moving more to the... ahhh... dark side? The main thematic elements of The Atrocity Exhibition begin to appear... and then pour forth in a torrent of productivity that includes the publication of The Crystal World, his third and final apocalyptic novel. And after a two-year hiatus, JGB's writing pace has picked up again.
