A Lie Too Big To Fail
A SEARING INDICTMENT OF THE OFFICIAL STORY—BACKED BY DOCUMENTED FACTS.
A Lie Too Big to Fail is a groundbreaking investigation into the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, based on newly released police files and government records.
Author Lisa Pease, a longtime researcher of both the JFK and RFK cases, presents compelling evidence that the official account—centering on Sirhan Sirhan as the lone assassin—fails to withstand scrutiny. Through exhaustive primary source research, Pease shows how the Los Angeles Police Department suppressed or destroyed evidence, ignored key witness testimony, and constructed a narrative that avoided signs of a broader conspiracy.
The book reveals how the trial of Sirhan Sirhan avoided pursuing critical leads, and how the justice system and press failed to present the public with a full accounting of the facts. Pease draws connections between the RFK case and other political assassinations of the era, raising serious questions about the ability of government institutions to investigate crimes involving their own power structures.
Rather than speculate, Pease relies on meticulous documentation—including LAPD files she personally reviewed on microfilm—to demonstrate that Robert F. Kennedy was viewed by some as a political threat whose rise to the presidency had to be stopped.
This is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the profound impact of Black Nationalism on America’s past, present, and future.
Lisa Pease is a lifelong information activist and respected political researcher. She became involved in assassination research in the 1990s, seeking to support her arguments with verifiable documentation. She has been a featured speaker at political and historical conferences in both Dallas and Los Angeles, in addition to her frequent appearances on popular podcasts and radio broadcasts.

A People’s History of Civilization
The lofty view of man’s progress called ‘history’ deserves a new perspective-that of the common person, not liberated but burdened by modernity.
The American anarchist, primitivist philosopher, and author John Zerzan critiques agriculture-based civilization as inherently oppressive and advocates drawing upon the life of hunter-gatherers as an inspiration for what free society should look like. Subjects of his criticism include domestication, language, symbolic thought, and the concept of time.
This book includes sixteen essays ranging from the beginning of civilization to today’s general crisis. Zerzan provides a critical perspective about civilization.
- Zerzan’s previous books, Against Civilization, Running on Emptiness, Twilight of the Machines, and Why Hope? explore the complex duality role of man in and against nature.

A Season of Madness
A Season of Madness takes readers to cultural hinterlands where Carnival is strange, marvelous, and even a bit frightening. Where Spring is welcomed by clowns carrying inflated pig bladders and sheepskin monsters walk the land with clubs covered in hedgehog spines and plows are dragged over cobblestone streets by villagers in masks painted with blood. Folk horror fans take heart as the old world beckons with the coming of Spring!
Readers will learn about regional and local celebrations’ origins, history, and quirkiness from ancient Rome to modern Bulgaria. A Season of Madness explores the interconnectivity of pagan beliefs throughout Europe and how those beliefs and traditions evolved over time and through the Christian conquest.
A Season of Madness is sumptuously illustrated with over one hundred historical and modern images and illustrations in this deluxe paperback edition.
Ridenour’s first book, Krampus and the Old, Dark Christmas: Roots and Rebirth of the Folkloric Devil (2018) is considered by critics the definitive authority on pagan winter celebrations. Aside from his books and podcast, Ridenour is a sought-after expert and lecturer.

A Walk Across Dirty Water
Orders placed directly with Feral House receive a signed photo of Eugene Robinson. Quantities are very limited.
A rollicking no-holds barred memoir from journalist and musician Eugene S. Robinson that takes readers along through the story of his life.
“A weird rollicking ride” frames how author Eugene S. Robinson views his journey from a Brooklyn kid with decidedly offbeat punk rock proclivities to the realities of California hardcore and dark detours into shows, tours, drugs, porn, guns, MMA fighting, an Ivy League-esque education and his eventual entry into the US Defense industry just in time to see his boss dragged into Contragate.
Robinson’s writing mirrors his fighting style intensity, ferocity, and brutal truth. He knows exactly who he is and how he is perceived by the white people and white culture that surrounds him. Robinson challenges accepted norms. He fights against easy answers and safe passages. He says:
“No one who ever gets a life sentence for just about anything really expects it to last a lifetime. Even if the modifier is “without the possibility of parole.” Hope springs eternal but there’s always the undiscussed other option. The one where the fate is chosen, freely, and the protagonist has about as much interest in escaping as he does of being almost anywhere else at all. Which is to say: not at all.”
A Walk Across Dirty Water is Robinson’s memoir of growing up in Brooklyn during the 1970s, playing in punk bands and touring the world during the eighties, taking a break to attend Stanford, and accidentally becoming a famous television personality in Germany.

Against Civilization
With mass poisonings, global warming and other tidings of contemporary civilization threatening the planet, shouldn’t we begin to reconsider our unthinking attachment to it?
Feral House’s new expanded edition of Against Civilization adds 18 new essays and feral illustrations by R.L. Tubbesing to the contemporary classic that provides 67 thought-provoking looks into the dehumanizing core of modern civilization, and the ideas that have given rise to the anarcho-primitivist movement. The editor of this compelling anthology is John Zerzan, author of Running on Emptiness (Feral House) and Future Primitive.
“I celebrate John Zerzan’s anthology harboring the best of civilized people’s critiques of civilization. Herein the reader will discover the questions that need to be asked and the insights that beg to be nurtured if humankind and the natural world as we know it are to thrive into the future. This book is that important.”
— Chellis Glendinning, author of My Name is Chellis and I’m in Recovery from Western Civilization
“It is its collective refusal to say ‘Here is civilization: just accept it’ that makes this volume so important. Read it and you will never think of civilization in the same way again. Or put any more faith than a grain of mustard seed in its unimpeded future.”
— Kirkpatrick Sale, author of Rebels Against the Future
“This is an extraordinary collection by the most important anarchist thinker of our time, a potent introduction to, as Zerzan so accurately puts it, the pathology of civilization. For decades now Zerzan has been articulating a practical and theoretical critique of civilization, and this book—though an edited anthology of his own and other people’s essays—brings it all together in a compelling, undeniable way. I love all of Zerzan’s books, but I think I love this one the best.”
— Derrick Jensen, author of A Language Older Than Words
“Is it only terrorists we’re worried about? We are witnessing the collision of civilization and the earth.”

Aleister Crowley and the Ouija Board
Ever since it was adapted by Parker Brothers into a massively popular board game for young people, the Ouija Board has been a lightning rod for controversy. For decades, waves of preachers, teachers and parents have condemned the game as a devil’s gateway to perilous obsessions and spiritual possessions. While these claims recall a special brand of witch trial-era hysteria, master occultist and Aleister Crowley expert, author J. Edward Cornelius, affirms that many of these accusations are founded in truth.
In Aleister Crowley and the Ouija Board – part fascinating history and part practical manual – Cornelius culls wisdom from the Great Beast and offers a compelling course of action: “Tragedies prove beyond a shred of a doubt that the board is capable of bridging the invisible world with our own. Instead of fearing this concept, why not learn to use it more effectively?”
The greatest ceremonial magician of the twentieth century, Aleister Crowley advocated the Ouija board’s use as an occult tool. He strongly believed that the board utilizes the same principles that were practiced by the famed Elizabethan magician John Dee, who used a crystal ball as a means of “skrying,” or seeing into the invisible realms. Aleister Crowley and the Ouija Board shows how anyone, with the proper knowledge, can communicate effectively with invisible beings through a Ouija board.
This book reveals for the first time in print many dark secrets regarding the talking board, and protected truths that for centuries have only been whispered about behind closed doors.
J. Edward Cornelius is a leading authority on ceremonial magick. A member of Crowley’s Ordo Templi Orientis, he is best known for the series of research journals called “Red Flame, A Thelemic Research Journal,” regarded as the definitive study of Crowleyanity and magick. Mr. Cornelius lives in San Francisco.

American Madness
Q-Anon. Fake News. Bohemian Grove. False flag attacks. Deep state. Crisis actors. Whatever Gate. Is any conspiracy worth the life of a believer?
The mainstream news media struggles to understand the power of social media. In contrast, conspiracy advocates, malicious political movements, and even foreign governments have long understood how to harness the power of fear and the fear of power into lucrative outlets for outrage and money. But what happens when the messengers of “inside knowledge” go too far?
Author Tea Krulos tells the story of one man, Richard McCaslin, whose fractured thinking made him the ideal consumer of even the most arcane of conspiracy theories. Acting on the daily rants of Alex Jones and his ilk, McCaslin takes matters into his own hands to stop the unseen powers behind the world’s disasters who congregate at conspiracy world’s Mecca—The Bohemian Grove. It all goes wrong with terrible consequences for the man who styled himself—The Phantom Patriot.
McCaslin is not alone, as conspiracy-driven political action has bubbled its way up from the margins of society to the White House. It’s no longer a lone deranged kook convinced of getting secret messages from a cereal box, now its slick videos and well-funded outrage campaigns ready to peddle the latest innuendos and lies in hopes of harnessing the chaos for political gain. What is the long-term effect on people who believe these barely believable stories? Who benefits, and who pays the price?
Tea Krulos is a Milwaukee-based writer who documents the underground world of fringe sub-cultures. His previous books, Apocalypse Any Day Now—Deep Underground with America’s Doomsday Preppers and Heroes in the Night—Inside the Real Life Super Hero Movement, explored the driving beliefs and lives of the people who choose to reject accepted reality and substitute their own.

Angel Dust Memories
The drug you thought was gone never left. And its story has never been told like this.
From the outlaw biker clubhouses of Toronto and Baltimore to the streets of Philadelphia, Kansas City, and Los Angeles, Angel Dust Memories uncovers the hidden, hallucinogenic underworld of PCP—also known as “angel dust”—through a blend of immersive journalism, true crime grit, and gonzo psychonaut anthropology.
Freelance journalist Sam Iravani (VICE, Filter, TalkingDrugs) follows the trail of PCP from its psychedelic roots in Haight-Ashbury to its adoption by criminal motorcycle gangs, street-level chemists, and the “dust bunnies” and “wetheads” who use it today. While other books skim over this taboo substance or reduce it to medical caricature, Angel Dust Memories plunges readers deep into the volatile heart of one of America’s most misunderstood drugs—and the subcultures it shaped.
Inside you’ll find:
• First-person accounts from former PCP kingpins, users, and law enforcement insiders
• Shocking tales from the heyday of biker-run PCP empires
• Urban legends dissected—and sometimes proven true
• The racial, social, and economic realities of a drug that lives off the radar
Whether you’re a true crime obsessive, a counterculture historian, or just someone who’s heard the stories and wondered, “Is any of that real?” — this book has your answer.
Fans of Lords of Chaos, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, Drug Use for Grown-Ups, or Say Why to Drugs will find Angel Dust Memories a mind-bending addition to their shelf.
