Death Trip: A Post-Holocaust Psychedelic Memoir takes readers on a journey from Portland’s ayahuasca basements to the streets of Budapest during the darkest days of the Second World War. By turns wrenching and hilarious, it asks whether trauma can be inherited and, if so, if psychedelics can help us heal.

Born in Milwaukee, WI, and raised in Washington, DC, Seth Lorinczi was part of the punk scene centered around Dishcord Records in the ’80s and ’90s. After touring internationally with Modest Mouse, Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney, and other artists, he turned towards writing as a creative pursuit.
