There are two ways of looking at the world:

You can take the mass media at face value and believe the world oscillates between the dumb-show of "left wing" and "right wing." Or you can begin to question this national hypnosis.

The groundbreaking and now out-of-print first edition of Secret and Suppressed influenced many in the conspiratorial '90s, including Chris Carter and his X-Files movie and television series.

Secret and Suppressed II, brought out in time for the presidential election, presents a new set of revelations, rants, visions, and nightmares that illuminate the paranoid and nightmarish post-9/11 planet. Contributions include new material from highly regarded writers Jim Hougan (Spooks), Jim Marrs (Rule by Secrecy), and Richard Sauder (Underground Bases and Tunnels). This updated edition also features dozens of investigations assembled into four sections: "Mentide," "Cults and Casualties," "The Disinformational Plague," and "The Elite Controllers."

Editor Adam Parfrey wrote Cult Rapture, co-wrote (with Maja D'Aoust) The Secret Source, and edited Apocalypse Culture and It's a Man's World.

Editor Kenn Thomas co-wrote (with Jim Keith) The Octopus: Secret Government and the Death of Danny Casolaro and Parapolitics: Conspiracy in Contemporary America.

The Secret Source reveals the actual occult doctrines that gave birth to "The Law of Attraction" and inspired the media phenomenon known as The Secret.

Why did The Secret divulge only one of the seven Hermetic Laws? What are the others, what do they say, and how could they enrich your life?

The Secret Source provides the actual texts and fascinating stories behind the "Emerald Tablet," the Kabbalistic treatise known as "The Kybalion," and Manly P. Hall's essay on the occult movement that produced it.

Maja D'Aoust lectures at the Philosophical Research Society; Adam Parfrey, editor of Apocalypse Culture, is writing a history of secret societies in America; and Jodi Wille is editing a book on the mystical commune known as "The Source." Manly P. Hall is the author of The Secret Teachings of All Ages.

When it was published in 1987, Apocalypse Culture was the first of its kind. No other book examined such disturbing cultural extremes, and no other book looked at the dark sides of society within the framework of the apocalypse In the intervening 12 years, it has become clear that Apocalypse Culture inspired a new genre of cultural commentary that has been embraced by both independent and large mainstream publishers and eagerly sought after by the culture at large. Among its fans is X-Files creator Chris Carter.

Now Adam Parfrey offers a follow-up to that first book. Apocalypse Culture II is an entirely new collection of essays that reflect the most recent revelations of the New World Order. Through the extremes of postmodern culture it details the moral disintegration of the old world. Essays cover biological warfare, taboo art, sexual fetishism, mind control for corporate gain, government sex-slavery, creepy superstars, and more..

"What most distinguished these paperbacks wasn't their narratives but their frequently amazing covers, swashes of erotic eye-candy that, as surely as a Warhol soupcan, now define an era. And so the emphasis in this first-rate celebration is on the covers, with hundreds reproduced in what looks like accurate (i.e., soul-shocking) color."-Publishers Weekly

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 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 R. 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 will include a facsimile edition of the notorious “Death Issue.”
