Love, Sex, Fear, Death

The Inside Story of The Process Church of the Final Judgment

By: Timothy Wyllie,Adam Parfrey

The Process Church of the Final Judgment was the apocalyptic shadow side of the flower-powered ’60s and perhaps the most notorious cult of modern times. Hundreds of black-cloaked devotees, often wearing a satanic “Goat of Mendes” and a swastika-like 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. Celebrities like Marianne Faithful, James Coburn, and Mick Jagger participated in Process publications, and Funkadelic, in its Maggot Brain album, reprinted Process’ “Fear Issue.” Process’ “Death Issue” interviewed the freshly-imprisoned Charles Manson leading to conspiracy hysteria in such books as Ed Sanders’ The Family and Maury Terry’s The Ultimate Evil. A lawsuit against Sanders’ Manson book led to the removal of its Process-themed chapter by Dutton. 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. Included will be text by Timothy Wyllie, a formative member of the Process and Foundation Faith organizations; interviews with other former Processeans; rare reproductions of Process magazines; never-before-seen photographs; and fascinating transcripts from holy books and legal actions. The special limited edition will be hardcover, signed, numbered, and slipcased, and it will include a facsimile edition of the notorious “Death Issue.”

Citizen Keane

The Big Lies Behind the Big Eyes

By: Cletus Nelson,Adam Parfrey

Teary, big-eyed orphans and a multitude of trashy knockoffs epitomized American kitsch art as they clogged thrift stores for decades. When Adam Parfrey tracked down Walter Keane—the credited artist of the weepy waifs, for a San Diego Reader cover story in 1992—he discovered some shocking facts. Decades of lawsuits and countersuits revealed the reality that Keane was more of a con man than an artist, and that he forced his wife Margaret to sign his name to her own paintings. As a result, those weepy waifs may not have been as capricious an invention as they seemed. Parfrey's story was reprinted in Juxtapoz magazine and inspired a Margaret Keane exhibition at the Laguna Art Museum. And now director Tim Burton is filming a movie about the Keanes called Big Eyes, and it's scheduled for release in 2014. Burton's Ed Wood, starring Johnny Depp, was based upon the Feral House book edited and published by Parfrey about the angora sweater-wearing B-film director. Citizen Keane is a book-length expansion of Parfrey's original article, providing fascinating biographical and sociological details, photographs, color reproductions, and appendices with legal documents and pseudonymous essays by Tom Wolfe inflating big eye art to those painted by the great masters.

It's a Man's World

Men's Adventure Magazines : the Postwar Pulps

By: Adam Parfrey

Foreword by Bruce Jay Friedman Evil criminals, damsels in distress: the detective pulp magazine turned into something new during the Cold War paranoia of the '50s and '60s, becoming men's adventure magazines. This forgotten horror-filled patriotic genre, with its sinister, torture-happy Nazis, Reds, Cubans and animals was home to three dozen titles and some of the best illustrators of the time. Revisiting these magazines and reproducing more than 150 of the best covers and interior illustrations, It's A Man's World will transport you to another world.

Ritual America

Secret Brotherhoods and Their Influence on American Society: A Visual Guide

By: Craig Heimbichner,Adam Parfrey

Adam Parfrey is one of the nation's most provocative publishers."—Seattle Weekly "Secret society historian Craig Heimbichner follows the Middle Path to wisdom. He works the graveyard shift in the secret lodge."—Joan d'Arc, Paranoia magazine Secret societies—now a staple of bestseller novels—are pictured as sinister cults that use hooded albinos to menace truth-seekers. Some conspiracy books claim that fraternal orders are the work of serpentine aliens and interbred humans who wish to supplant earth of its energy, and later, its very existence. On the other side of the aisle, books by high-ranked Freemasons—skeptical in tone but no less partisan in approach—protect their organization's public image by denying the existence of its most contentious ideas. Ritual America reveals the biggest secret of them all: that the influence of fraternal brotherhoods on this country is vast, fundamental, and hidden in plain view. In the early twentieth century, as many as one-third of America belonged to a secret society. And though fezzes and tiny car parades are almost a thing of the past, the Gnostic beliefs of Masonic orders are now so much a part of the American mind that the surrounding pomp and circumstance has become faintly unnecessary. The authors of Ritual America contextualize hundreds of rare and many never-before printed images with entertaining and far-reaching commentary, making an esoteric subject provocative, exciting, and approachable. Adam Parfrey is the author of Cult Rapture: Revelations of the Apocalyptic Mind and It's a Man's World: Men's Adventure Magazines, the Postwar Pulps. He is editor of the influential Apocalypse Culture series Love, Sex, Fear Death: The Inside Story of the Process Church of the Final Judgment. Craig Heimbichner has recently appeared on a National Geographic documentary about the Bohemian Grove, contributed to the Feral House compilation Secret and Suppressed II, and wrote about the famous occult order the O.T.O. in Blood and Altar.

Ritual America -- Expanded Edition

Secret Brotherhoods and Their Influence on American Society

By: Craig Heimbichner,Adam Parfrey

As Masonic Brotherhoods and Fraternal organizations lose members and their once sacred buildings are converted to condos and conference centers, the notion of secret societies has become more formidable. There are as many conspiracies as there are books about these fraternal orders, each with an increasingly outlandish origin story. Whether descended from Lizards, or working to bring about the end of the world, or just meeting for Wednesday night bowling, Masonic Orders and Fraternal Brotherhoods play into our sense of intrigue. There are historical books that claim to unveil the mystic secrets of these orders, but they too are either too skeptical or too partisan to tell the true story. Ritual America reveals the biggest secret of them all: that the influence of fraternal brotherhoods on this country is vast, fundamental, and hidden in plain view. In the early twentieth century, as many as one-third of America men belonged to a secret society. And though fezzes and tiny car parades are almost a thing of the past, the Gnostic beliefs of Masonic orders are now so much a part of the American mind that the surrounding pomp and circumstance has become faintly unnecessary. The new and expanded edition of Ritual America includes even more rare images and entertaining and enlightening commentary making this esoteric subject provocative, exciting, and approachable. The late Adam Parfrey channeled his life-long interest of the American occult into this exhaustive 2012 tome documenting its pervasive influence on American culture. Parfrey's unexpected death in 2018 led co-author Craig Heimbichner and their publisher to revise and expand Ritual America to now include items and stories that had once been intended for a second volume. The original edition won the Independent Publishing Group Silver Medal Award in 2012.

Last Days

By: Adam Nevill

Last Days (winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best Horror Novel of the Year) by Adam Nevill is a Blair Witch style novel in which a documentary film-maker undertakes the investigation of a dangerous cult—with creepy consequences. When guerrilla documentary maker, Kyle Freeman, is asked to shoot a film on the notorious cult known as the Temple of the Last Days, it appears his prayers have been answered. The cult became a worldwide phenomenon in 1975 when there was a massacre including the death of its infamous leader, Sister Katherine. Kyle's brief is to explore the paranormal myths surrounding an organization that became a testament to paranoia, murderous rage, and occult rituals. The shoot's locations take him to the cult's first temple in London, an abandoned farm in France, and a derelict copper mine in the Arizonan desert where The Temple of the Last Days met its bloody end. But when he interviews those involved in the case, those who haven't broken silence in decades, a series of uncanny events plague the shoots. Troubling out-of-body experiences, nocturnal visitations, the sudden demise of their interviewees and the discovery of ghastly artifacts in their room make Kyle question what exactly it is the cult managed to awaken – and what is its interest in him?

Of the Seed of Abraham

A Study of the Book of Romans

By: Adam Cozort

This study guide can help anybody from preachers to non-Christians gain an understanding of this great book. Unlike most commentaries, it does not concentrate on what all of the scholars have to say about every tidbit, but on what the text says, what the words used mean, how they apply within the context of the book itself, and how they apply to us. It is written in an expanded outline format instead of manuscript in order to make it easy to reference.
