Now this new edition will survey the history and influence of the art of bitchcraft' and the Church of Satan, alongside the original and unforgettable text that teaches women how to interest (or take advantage of) men.'

A biography of the century's most strange men, Parsons was a primary architect of modern rocket science and co-founder of Jet Propulsion Laboratory - a crater on the moon was named after him. His secretive interests, however, were more bizarre and involved him in underwriting the notorious Aleister Crowley whose Book of the Law he considered to be the new Holy Book. Parsons also held numerous soirees where weird black magick rituals were performed under the eyes of none other than L Ron Hubbard who then made off with his money and his wife. Stranger than fiction

A sadistic murderer who claimed thirty-seven victims? A master manipulator who taunted the police with cryptic letters and mind-bending ciphers? Or a shadowy figure who terrorized California-and the nation-with an almost supernatural ability to evade capture? In an era when nearly 90% of homicides were solved, how could this killer escape justice? And more than half a century later, why does his identity remain one of history's greatest mysteries? What if the shocking truth is this: the Zodiac Killer... never existed? In Zodiactually, former police officer Eddie McNamara peels back decades of myth and sensationalism to expose the chilling truths behind one of the world's most infamous cases. Through painstaking research of original police files, deep dives into newspaper archives, and analysis of thousands of pages of court records, McNamara delivers a groundbreaking revelation: the Zodiac Killer wasn't a single, unstoppable predator but an urban legend amplified by the media and public imagination. Zodiactually unveils the hidden truths and forgotten stories surrounding the murders that captivated the world-and the fear that turned them into legend. This groundbreaking book will challenge everything you think you know about the Zodiac and force you to confront how myth, media, and hysteria shape history. Eddie McNamara is the author of the crime novel Brooklyn Hardcore, the vegetarian cookbook Toss Your Own Salad, and the short story collection Two Fare Zone. In a former life, he was a 9/11 first responder, police officer, and a columnist for Penthouse magazine.

A noir grimoire. The Devil's Notebook is a riveting collection of wisdom, humor and dark observations by the founder of The Church of Satan, Anton LaVey. The High Priest speculates on such topics as nonconformity, occult faddism, erotic politics, the 'Goodguy badge,' demoralization and the construction of artificial human companions. Like P.T. Barnum, Ben Hecht and H.L. Mencken before him, LaVey zeroes in on humankind's limitless capacity for self-deceit and self-denial. Included are instructions for the creation of what LaVey terms 'total environments,' or places of magical evocation, where the enlightened may escape the deleterious effects of contemporary existence. The Devil's Notebook is a true grimoire, as relevant today as it was when it was first published in 1992. Introduction by Adam Parfrey. Anton LaVey's sharpest essays on culture, psychology, and the occult - an underground classic of modern Satanic thought. The Devil's Notebook gathers Anton Szandor LaVey's essays on nonconformity, culture, and the psychology of modern life into one of the most accessible and frequently cited books in the Satanic canon. Best known as the founder of the Church of Satan and author of The Satanic Bible, LaVey turns his attention here to everyday behavior, social performance, and the ways individuals construct identity and belief in contemporary society. Written with wit, provocation, and observational precision, these essays explore subjects ranging from occult fads and mass psychology to erotic politics, artificial companions, and what LaVey calls 'total environments' - carefully designed personal spaces meant to shape mood, perception, and ritual experience. Drawing comparisons to satirists and cultural critics such as H. L. Mencken and P. T. Barnum, LaVey examines human self-deception, conformity, and spectacle with a mix of humor and philosophical commentary. First published in 1992, The Devil's Notebook has become a key text for readers interested in modern Satanism, occult philosophy, and countercultural critique. This edition includes an introduction by Adam Parfrey, founder of Feral House, placing the work within the broader history of alternative religion, underground publishing, and late-twentieth-century cultural dissent. A widely read entry point into LaVey's thought and a core title for readers of occult studies, modern Satanism, cultural criticism, and alternative spirituality.

Harley Flanagan provides a fascinating memoir: a homeless child prodigy and family friend of Andy Warhol and Allen Ginsberg, at a young age he became close to many stars of the early punk rock scene like Joe Strummer of The Clash and was taught to play bass by members of the famed black punk band Bad Brains. He went on to start the notorious hardcore band Cro-Mags. From the memoir's introduction by American Hardcore's Steven Blush: 'Harley Flanagan is not like you or me... Harley came up like a feral animal, left by his hippie mother to fend for himself in the 70s.'

Future Primitive Revisited marks the return of John Zerzan's iconic and long out-of-print classic.

The first edition of Opium for the Masses, published 15 years ago, was an instant phenomenon. Now, with further societal breakdowns on the horizon, it's becoming more important to learn how to create and use home-grown pain medication. The new edition enlarges the book's scope to instruct readers on growing and harvesting methods. It also includes extensive background information on the history of opium, showing how it was once praised as a useful medication, only to later become demonised.

Adam Parfrey was, before starting iconoclastic publisher Feral House, a writer. His foresight in revealing extreme trends and societal angst long before mainstream media had any inkling of the darkness bubbling just under the surface of American culture earned him praise and derision. Apocalypse Culture (1987) was hailed by J.G. Ballard as the 'terminal documents of the Twentieth Century.' Many of the included essays are eerily prescient as Parfrey warned about right-wing militias in the early nineties and documented the rise of conspiracy-dominated thinking decades before Republican government officials loudly declared political opponents were satanically inspired drinkers of baby blood. Yet Parfrey's interests were wide-ranging and Apocalypse Omnibus includes profiles of outre characters, artists, and, yes, some crackpots. Parfrey loved tweaking American mythology by resurrecting lost texts highlighting outlaws and outsiders. He continually sought to expose the absurdity of American culture. His collective writings have become the ur-texts of the 'Dirtbag Left.' Parfrey was fascinated by the contrast between America portrayed as wholesome freedom-loving peacekeepers and the reality of covert military operations, mass-drug experiments, and the obscured 'wizards' hidden behind the curtain pulling the levers of power. His work has been lauded as groundbreaking and criticised as dangerous. In a time when truth has been stretched to the breaking point, Parfrey's essays remind readers that there is always more to the story. Apocalypse Omnibus also contains material previously published in the out-of-print books, Apocalypse Culture 2 (2003) and Cult Rapture (1995), as well as new material culled from his extensive private archives. It also contains a selection of Parfrey's essays and investigations, originally published in the San Diego Reader, Village Voice, Hustler Magazine, and on his own site, and inaccessible for years, are collected here in a single volume.

The Secret Life Of A Satanist steps behind the curtain with the founder and High Priest of the Church of Satan. What is contemporary Satanism, and why would one start a church dedicated to the Dark One? It wasn't a rebellion against an oppressive religious upbringing; it was Anton Szandor LaVey's disgust with most of humanity. Drawing from Jack London, Friedrich Nietzsche, Marquis de Sade and a host of other reprobates, LaVey formulated a philosophy that resonated with him. Fully revised and updated version of the 1990 biography.

In 1978 in Dunedin , New Zealand, the Kilgour brothers, Hamish and David, and their schoolfriend Peter Gutteridge, got together to form a band called The Clean. When Robert Scott joined in 1980, the band found a combination that endured for nearly forty years. The Clean profoundly changed alternative music: hitting the New Zealand charts for months with a single made for 50 dollars, 'Tally Ho!'; helping establish Flying Nun and a music scene independent of the big labels; pioneering a low-fi, do-it-yourself approach to rock music; and touring internationally to influence bands like Pavement and Yo La Tengo. Raw and immediate, this is the story as told by members of The Clean and their inner circle - fellow musicians such as Chris Knox, Martin Phillipps, Graeme Downes and Ira Kaplan, friends and family, pub promoters and sound engineers, and their good friend, Richard Langston. From teenagers in a Dunedin practice room to New York City on 9/11 - this is the band's history as it unfolds.

As a homeless child prodigy, Harley Flanagan played drums for bands at Max’s Kansas City and CBGBs, and was taught to play bass by the famed black band Bad Brains, and drank with the notorious Lemmy of Motörhead.

General Butler''s screed crosses all ideological boundaries.

Dr. Farrell's sourced work explores the possibility that earth may have been occupied by a race of tyrranical giants.

The ultimate question is no longer Who am I?' or 'Why am I here?' It has become 'What shall we be?' Transhumanism investigates what may become of human civilisation, who is setting the agenda for a trans-humanistic civilisation and why. It explores our world in which politicans dare to become gods, genetically manipulating the seeds of the earth and the beasts on the fields, and claiming legal ownership over humanity by re-creating it in their own image. This is no conspiracy theory...it simply is.'

For too long The Iliad has been hijacked by unreadable writers. It began with Homer as a campfire tale and here it is, restored to life. You'll be amazed at how funny, raw and terrifying this doomed world of war really is.

Love Sex Fear Death is the shocking, surprising, and secretive inside story of The Process Church, which was later transformed into Foundation Faith of the Millennium, and most recently as the Utah-based animal sanctuary, Best Friends. Hundreds of black-cloaked devotees, often wearing a satanic 'Goat of Mendes' and a stylised mandala, swept the streets of London, New York, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, and Toronto, selling magazines and books with titles like Fear and Humanity is the Devil. And within the group's 'Chapters,' members would participate in 'Midnight Meditations' beneath photographs of the Christ-like leader. A short narrative history by Timothy Wyllie, a formative member of the Process and Foundation Faith organisations, Love Sex Fear Death also includes interviews with other former Processeans and never-before-seen photographs. New to this edition will be select court transcripts from the 1972 suit where the Process Church sued Ed Sanders for libel in England (and won.) The expanded edition also features a new introduction and update about the Process Church and key contributors to the Church and its history.
