What's the big news? The Feral House Podcast is back, babies! 

We began the podcast in 2018 with our first recorded conversation between Christina and a surly Adam ("Why are we doing this?") to our last with Michael Nirenberg talking about his prescient history of environmental activism, Earth A.D in 2021.

Why did we stop? Honestly, it's a lot of work. But it's a few years later, and technology has improved exponentially, making it less difficult to bring you insider info and great conversations with Feral writers and friends. Version 2.0 of the podcast also features video! If you prefer to watch and listen, you can do that via the Feral House YouTube Channel.  Psst, our channel also features book trailers, music playlists, fan videos, and other fun stuff.

Check out the archives to catch up, or dive in with the latest episode, featuring Cold Glitter author Robert Dayton.

Expect a new episode about once a month. You'll hear Feral authors, friends, and family with insights into books, ideas, and traversing the counter-cultural landscape. Let us know who you'd like to hear from. Subscribe to our YouTube channel for instant notification when a new conversation goes live.

In the summer of 2021, we were about to begin getting the word out about Lenny Flatley's incredible book about modern-day "guru" Gabriel of Urantia and his elaborate operation in southern Arizona. It was an "only in America" story of spirituality and multi-million-dollar businesses. Lenny is a fantastic researcher and writer. Our lawyers reviewed and cleared the manuscript of anything that could be legally actionable. All systems go...

Until we got a letter first claiming copyright infringement for the use of their publicly available PR image, which we altered to create the book cover. But when we (and our lawyers) began pushing back, the story took a strange turn.

New Age Grifter author Lenny Flately shares the entire saga that features Alex Jones, the Sandy Hook murders, the non-profit industrial complex, and how "lawfare" threatens to silence anyone who dares tell the truth. Read the entire story on Lenny's Substack newsletter, Paranoid History. He has graciously provided a FREE link for Feral House newsletter subscribers. Please read and consider subscribing to Paranoid History. Oh, and you can get a copy of New Age Grifter to read the story that they tried to suppress directly from us.

Step into the strange, the wild, and the downright mind-blowing with three new reads that push palates and rattle brains. A Season of Madness dives deep into Europe's weirdest, most unhinged festivals—think ancient rituals, masked mayhem, and total chaos. Weirdumentary takes you on a nostalgia trip through '70s fake documentaries, from Bigfoot to doomsday prophecies, the golden age of "real" weirdness. William Bainbridge takes us deep in to the minds of the Process Church in Lucifer's Power. And for those who like their rebellion on a plate, Hardcore Vegetarian isn't your typical plant-based manifesto—it's a sharp, irreverent recipe books and deep dive into food culture and community.


Get ready for a dose of radical thought and revolutionary ideas. The Return of Black Nationalism unpacks the history and resurgence of Black Nationalist thought, exposing its deep roots and future impact. Check that amazing cover art created for the book by Chuck D! 
 

Spring Has Sprung, and So Have the Monsters

As the rain breaks and flowers bloom, so too do the fools, beasts, and mad saints that have haunted Europe's old-world carnivals for centuries. In celebration of MAYhem — a month of misrule, magic, and our rowdy podcasters — we're giving away a copy of A Season of Madness: Fools, Monsters, and Marvels of the Old-World Carnival by folklorist and feral field guide Al Ridenour.

This lavish, full-color book drags you headlong into the anarchic rites of spring — where masked marauders roam mountain towns, devils demand eggs and schnapps, and centuries-old rituals blur the sacred and the profane. Whether they wear horns, bells, bones, or blood, these beings come to dance, disrupt, and remind us: nature's rebirth isn't all pastel tulips and baby lambs.

Think Mardi Gras meets The Wicker Man, dressed in pagan drag and ready to party.

To win this riot in hardcover form, just reply to this email with the word MAYHEM by May 31. One lucky reader will receive the book — and maybe an ancestral old-world curse or two.

It's shaping up to be a cooler spring and summer for us northerners. If that's you, get yourself a hoodie! Pick up one of the few remaining heavy-duty navy blue cotton hoodies emblazoned with what we call 'serving mankind' image designed by Jacob Covey as a sly nod to Feral's LA roots.

Also available but not pictured are limited sizes of t-shirts in grey, forest green, and maroon. These are the last of the shirts with the Feral logo design and in these colors.

Lucifer's Power, William Bainbridge's update of his 1974 seminal work about the Process, Satan's Power is OUT NOW. We expect renewed interest in our loving recreation of the Process Church belt buckle. It's cast in bronze, then plated in copper, and finished with silver plating.
