As you know, many people believe that December 2012 is The End. The Seventh Day Adventists and Jehovah’s Witnesses haven’t bought into that date, so why should we? The  2012 catalogues for Feral House and Process Media prove that we are optimistic enough to believe that technology will not totally fail, and that people will [...]

Talk about coincidences. Here’s a few. After Feral House released Nightmare of Ecstasy: The Life and Art of Edward D. Wood, Jr., in 1992, many readers got quite excited.

While scouring an interesting second-hand store in Seattle in the ’90s, we discovered an elaborate uniform worn about a century ago by a Knight Templar.
