Ulterior Motive

dery

A friend called me the other day to tell me that a guy named Mark Dery insulted me in a book titled I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts. Yes, Mark Dery, the guy whose review of Apocalypse Culture for the LA Weekly in the early ’90s was more of a personal insult rather than a critique. And then in 2000 [...]

The Department of Justice served Apple and a few actual publishers with a suit on eBook price-fixing charges. Here’s the point of view from a small publisher: The “collusion” accusation mystifies us. We’ve always been at the short end of the deal, and told what to do by the big gorillas in the room, Amazon [...]

Among Feral House’s and Process Media’s wide-ranging array of titles are some conspiratorial books looking into the Oklahoma City Bombing and many other questionable aspects of the establishment line.  For The Oklahoma City Bombing and the Politics of Terror, we were sued for libel by Oliver “Buck” Revell, the FBI’s Deputy Chief. We were prepared to raise [...]

Pure Filth

PureFilth

Has it been a decade since Feral House signed up the Jamie Gillis / Peter Sotos collaboration, Pure Filth? Well, yes it has. Power of persuasion convinced me to do this project way back when.

Prepare yourself, Austin!

04 Brotherhood Gun islam soldiers

Austin, TX, we love you. Yes we do. Filled up the Dobie Theater to its capacity back in ’91 or ’92, and spoke in a stadium mascot uniform. Chicken Little, specifically, since the lecture was about Apocalypse Culture. Frank Kozik did the poster: a Nazi minister with red Shriner clown nose. Twenty years later, we’re [...]
