'D' Train by Terry Wilson, as published in softcover by Moloko Print (Germany) in 2025, 40 years after its initial release. Cover image by Ian Sommerville. Collage fontispiece by Terry Wilson. Design by Robert Schalinski. This is a book highly inspired by Brion Gysin, on whom the character "Bedaya" is modeled.  

William S. Burroughs supplies a long blurb to the front panel: 

"'D' TRAIN routes the reader through the reader through the Land of the Dead. In this perilous passage, the only one a man can trust, the only one who can guide him through the Land of the Dead, is his Ka, his Psychic Double. And the Ka needs the man as much as the man needs his Ka. A tragic impasse blocks all but a very few from the Ka.

"'D' TRAIN is a significant and timely book, since it expresses this basic spiritual alienation in modern terms. It isn't forgone like salvation. It's a desperate quest for psychic integration. 'D' TRAIN is a book concerned with spiritual basics. Young boys need it special. They may even listen."

A blurb by Brion Gysin is on the back cover.
