REBELS & DEVILS: The Psychology of Liberation - Edited by Christopher S. Hyatt, Ph.D.


REBELS & DEVILS: The Psychology of Liberation - Edited by Christopher S. Hyatt, Ph.D.

A Collection of Essays by some of the most talented, controversial and rebellious writers of all time. Some are very famous, and others are lesser known - Independent minds that think and act according to standards from within, not from without - to follow one's own path, not that of the masses. Every article and in every aspect of their lives, these contributors have but one focus - to bring freedom to their own worlds. These writers oppose authority and established conventions - in other words they are 'Rebels' - and when those in power recognize their disobedience, the 'Rebel' becomes the 'Devil'

With Contributions By:

William S. Burroughs // Timothy Leary // Robert Anton Wilson // Austin Osman Spare // Aleister Crowley // Israel Regardie // Jack Parsons // James Wasserman // Osho Rajneesh // Peter J. Carroll // Genesis P. Orridge // Phil Hine // Lon Milo DuQuette -- and many others....

THE BLOODY COUNTESS: Atrocities of Erzsebet Bathory: By Valentine Penrose /Translation Alexander Trocchi


THE BLOODY COUNTESS: Atrocities of Erzsebet Bathory

By Valentine Penrose - Translated by Alexander Trocchi

Descended from an ancient aristocratic European family, Erzsebet Bathory bore all the psychotic characteristics of centuries of inner family breeding. From early adolescence she indulged in sadistic lesbian fantasies - where only the spilling of others female blood could satisfy her urges.

By middle age, she had regressed into a mirror fixated state and was practicing necro-sadism, torture, cannibalism, vampirism, wholesale slaughter, blood bathing and witchcraft. These years, in the late 16th century, would witness a reign of cruelty unsurpassed in the history of mass murder, with an estimated 650 deaths attributed to the 'Bloody Countess'.

Her many castles were all equipped with torture chambers where she would torture and mutilate her many victims - virtual killing factories where hundreds of girls were killed and processed - the Countess would bath in their virgin blood - believing it would preserve her youth and beauty.

MEAT IS MURDER! An Illustrated Guide to Cannibal Culture - By Mikita Brottman


MEAT IS MURDER! An Illustrated Guide to Cannibalism - By Mikita Brottman

Violent death, murder, mutilation, eating, defecation, ritualism and bodily extremes - cannibalism combines all or many of these themes to represent one of the most symbolically charged narratives in the human psyche's repertoire.

As a grotesque figure of power - the cannibal has played a formidable role in all cultures throughout history from earliest times - oral, written, films etc. - It embodies the ultimate extent of transgressive behavior that a human being can be driven to.

MEAT IS MURDER ! is a unique and explicit exploration into cannibalism, from classical myths and early primitive natives to contemporary films, fiction and real-life modern age cannibals like Albert Fish, Ed Gein, Jeffery Dahmer and Andrei Chikatilo - and features an in-depth study of cannibalism in the cinema from mondo and exploitation films to horror and art house movies. Includes Film Index.

Creation Books 1998 Edition - 213 Page Paperback - Many b&w Illustrations - CAUTION: EXTREME ADULT CONTENT - PRICE: $15.00

LAID BARE: A Memoir of Wrecked Lives and the Hollywood Death Trip - by John Gilmore


LAID BARE: A Memoir of Wrecked Lives and the Hollywood Death Trip

By John Gilmore (Author of Severed: The True Story of the Black Dahlia Murder and Garbage People: Charlie Manson and the Family)

A powerful chronicler of the American Nightmare through his gripping examinations of near-mythic Southern California murders - the Black Dahlia and Tate-La Bianca - John Gilmore now draws upon his personal experiences to turn his sights on our morbid obsession with celebrity and the ruinous price it exacts from those who would pursue it.

With caustic clarity Gilmore recounts his relationships with the likes of Janis Joplin, Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper, Jane Fonda, Jean Seberg, and Lenny Bruce on the way up and at the peaks of their stardom. Gilmore explores the actor James Dean's fascination with speed, death. and sexual experimentation and describes his often haunting first-hand encounters with Hank Williams, Ed Wood, Jr., Brigitte Bardot, Sal Mineo, Eartha Kitt, Charles Manson, Jayne Mansfield, Vampira, Steve McQueen and many other denizens of the 20th century’s dubious Pantheon.

"Reads like a first-person Hollywood Babylon!"-- V. Vale/ REsearch
