About This Item
Portland, OR: Feral House, 1995. First edition. First edition. Signed by Adam Parfrey on the title page, inscribed "The New One For the New World ODOR Your eternal schmatta Adam P." 371, [3] pp. with frontispiece by Joe Coleman, later used for the cover of Apocalpyse Culture II. Bound in publisher's wraps. Very Good+ with a little curling to front wrap, very light soiling to fore edge. Some bleed through to copyright page from inscription.
A collection of essays by the late editor of Apocalypse Culture and renegade publisher on various late 20th century cults and fringe figures: channeler Ruth Norman and Unarius, far right impressario Bo Gritz, 2nd wave feminist Andrea Dworkin, short-lived would-be American militia leader Linda Thompson, legendary (quasi-fictional?) conspiracy maven James Shelby Downard, shock punk G.G. Allin, and more. Also features an essay on the Oklahoma City bombing accurately predicting how legislation passed in its wake prepared the way for restrictions on rights and state surveillance post-9/11.
