“A wildly original, audaciously funny tour of the Grateful Dead and the mythical world they built . . . Alexander Pappademas and Joan LeMay brilliantly explore the Dead’s genius.”—Rob Sheffield, author of Love Is a Mix Tape
Friends of the Devil invites you to plunge headfirst into the dreamworld of the Grateful Dead, where music and myth intertwine and history dissolves like a tab on your tongue. This captivating exploration brings to life not only the songs that have enchanted Deadheads for generations but the stranger-than-fiction stories behind them.
The gang’s all here: An anonymous female convict in America’s notorious prison and Playboy bunnies on acid. Joseph Campbell and the Zodiac Killer. College revolutionaries lost in the desert and Bob Dylan wandering in out of the cold. In these pages, the abstract epic “Dark Star” gives shape to a movie gone mad, and “Terrapin Station” winds its way to Robert Hunter’s brain from sixteenth-century France via the hollers of Kentucky.
With Joan LeMay's original paintings breathing fresh new life into the ramshackle, blacklight-ready aesthetic of the Grateful Dead, Friends of the Devil is a rich and rollicking journey—a gift for longtime fans and a delightful, informative, and often moving treat for anyone new to the band's wild magic. Join us in revisiting the past, where every page is a step back in time and a ripple in still water, and every story shines like a glimmering stone on the golden road.

“Rewarding . . . For a dyed-in-the-wool head, Pappademas writes astutely about the Dead’s faults. He can admire the late Bob Weir’s ‘hair and beard glowing Gandalf-white’ and then turn around and concede that the band’s members were ‘barely listening to each other’ in their ‘rough latter years.’”—Harper’s Magazine
“A wildly original, audaciously funny tour of the Grateful Dead and the mythical world they built . . . Alexander Pappademas and Joan LeMay brilliantly explore the Dead’s genius.”—Rob Sheffield, author of Love Is a Mix Tape
“A vital and bold new take on the ultimate American Band and their unbroken chain of connection to the cosmic collective unconscious.”—William Tyler
"Forget reading this book. Ingest it!”—Wright Thompson, author of The Cost of These Dreams
“If you ain’t already on the bus, this’ll catapult you right onto it.”—Rob Harvilla, 60 Songs That Explain the ’90s
“Wall-to-wall with deep insight delivered in colorful prose, bristling with learned references and compelling digressions that rightly place the Dead in a heady American firmament.”—Michael Azerrad, author of The Amplified Come as You Are
“It is hard to imagine a more thrilling or visionary paean to the Grateful Dead than Friends of the Devil.”—Amanda Petrusich
“A freewheeling take on the Grateful Dead’s songbook and history. With its short chapters keyed to individual songs, this addition to the Grateful Dead bookshelf blazes its own trail. Divided into two sets, much like a Dead concert, it combines fresh interpretations of Dead lyrics with historical detail, freewheeling commentary, loose associations, fine phrasemaking, and watercolor portraits by LeMay. . . . It's a reminder, if any were needed, that the band’s long, strange trip defies the stereotypes that surround it.”—Kirkus Reviews
