This book is a behind-the-forehead look inside the mind of someone addicted to Scientology, heading towards a brain-tranquilized stupor. Using Scientology, Vance gets everything that a powerfully psychoactive drug can offer. Mind-blowing highs, deep insights, harsh come-downs and depression. Crooked dealers and overdoses. Withdrawal, suffering, craving and relapse. Self-annihilation, loneliness, financial ruin and the inevitable abyss. The metaphor isn’t one. Yes, Scientology is a drug.
