Apocalypse Culture

The Most Dangerous Book You Were Never Meant to Read

A legendary underground classic that reshaped alternative publishing, Apocalypse Culture is a definitive collection of forbidden ideas, shocking theories, and fringe voices from the edge of modern thought. Edited by Adam Parfrey, founder of Feral House, this anthology dives deep into the darkest corners of politics, belief, and human behavior.

Combining essays, interviews, and manifestos, Apocalypse Culture explores topics that mainstream media won’t touch: government mind control, body modification, ritual abuse, cult psychology, taboo sexuality, social decay, eugenics, Satanic panic, and end-times theology. Many of these texts have been banned, suppressed, or ignored—until now.

Since its initial release in the late 1980s, Apocalypse Culture has become a touchstone for readers interested in the occult, true crime, radical politics, and conspiracy theories. Revered by artists, feared by censors, and cited in countless works of film, music, and journalism, this book continues to challenge what it means to be civilized in an age of collapse.

Whether you're a student of subversive literature or a newcomer to transgressive nonfiction, Apocalypse Culture remains a vital document of Western civilization’s shadow self."Parfrey has edited a new book of Revelation, a collection which is almost as awesome and terrifying as the original biblical text."


--Edwin Pouncey, NME

"Apocalypse Culture is compulsory reading for all those concerned with the crisis of our times. An extraordinary collection unlike anything I have ever encountered. These are the terminal documents of the twentieth century."
--J.G. Ballard
