A new wave of aspiring neo-Nazi terrorists has arisen—including the infamous Atomwaffen Division. And they have a bible: James Mason’s Siege, which praises terrorism, serial killers, and Charles Manson. Neo-Nazi Terrorism and Countercultural Fascism, based on years of archival work and interviews, documents for the first time the origins of Siege. First, it shows how Mason’s vision arose from debates by 1970s neo-Nazis who splintered off the American Nazi Party/National Socialist White People's Party and spun off a terrorist faction. Second, it unveils how four 1980s countercultural figures—musicians Boyd Rice and Michael Moynihan, Feral House publisher Adam Parfrey, and Satanist Nikolas Schreck—discovered, promoted, and published Mason. Neo-Nazi Terrorism and Countercultural Fascism explores a previously overlooked period and unearths the hidden connections between a countercultural clique and violent neo-Nazis—which together have set the template for today’s Neo-nazi terrorist underground. It is obligatory reading for those interested in contemporary terrorism, postwar countercultures, and the history of the U.S. Far Right and neo-Nazism.
The groundbreaking Audio Culture: Readings in Modern Music (Continuum; September 2004; paperback original) maps the aural and discursive terrain of vanguard music today. Rather than offering a history of contemporary music, Audio Culture traces the genealogy of current musical practices and theoretical concerns, drawing lines of connection between recent musical production and earlier moments of sonic experimentation. It aims to foreground the various rewirings of musical composition and performance that have taken place in the past few decades and to provide a critical and theoretical language for this new audio culture. This new and expanded edition of the Audio Culture contains twenty-five additional essays, including four newly-commissioned pieces. Taken as a whole, the book explores the interconnections among such forms as minimalism, indeterminacy, musique concrète, free improvisation, experimental music, avant-rock, dub reggae, ambient music, hip hop, and techno via writings by philosophers, cultural theorists, and composers. Instead of focusing on some "crossover" between "high art" and "popular culture," Audio Culture takes all these musics as experimental practices on par with, and linked to, one another. While cultural studies has tended to look at music (primarily popular music) from a sociological perspective, the concern here is philosophical, musical, and historical. Audio Culture includes writing by some of the most important musical thinkers of the past half-century, among them John Cage, Brian Eno, Ornette Coleman, Pauline Oliveros, Maryanne Amacher, Glenn Gould, Umberto Eco, Jacques Attali, Simon Reynolds, Eliane Radigue, David Toop, John Zorn, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and many others. Each essay has its own short introduction, helping the reader to place the essay within musical, historical, and conceptual contexts, and the volume concludes with a glossary, a timeline, and an extensive discography.
ESOTERRA was an underground magazine focusing on extreme culture, published for almost a decade. The zine featured interviews with musicians, writers, and artists beside articles on fortean subjects, bizarre phenomena, and the occult. Some of the diverse personalities who appeared in the magazine include Marilyn Manson, H.R. Giger, Alan Moore, Adam Parfrey, Genesis P-Orridge, David Tibet, Thomas Ligotti, Leilah Wendell, Stephen O'Malley, Masami Akita, Boyd Rice, and dozens of other alternative luminaries who, in many cases, were both the subject of an in-depth interview and contributor to the magazine. ESOTERRA the book collects these and the other best interviews, articles, and art from the magazine into a single high quality volume, including material from the unpublished final issue.
Transcendence is not what the media portrayed. It is not a place of hope or new beginnings. It hides a secret project the Astrals intend to use to eradicate Tellurians and Alluvials. The soldiers are free thanks to Marci's virus. Genesis Hub is down. Zedger has cracked. Marci, Levi, and Mason take on the duty of caring for escapees from Project Zedger, including the consciousnesses Marci saved from Abrogation. The only way to truly set the acquired minds free is to find a way to Transcendence and merge them with Pellucid models in need of hosts. Transcendence, the city orbiting Earth, is heavily guarded by BloodTitans. Marci's team is hunted for what they've done. The mind drive she's wired into her splay to preserve the active algorithms of the consciousnesses is draining her energy. Their team's desperate fight for survival takes a dour turn when Marci is captured, and a new enemy surges in from the outer rim. Astrals aren't the only ones who want to harness Marci's mind to control armies in battle. Alliances shift. The fight among Astrals for control of Earth takes to space and sends Marci and her crew in a perilous direction. To save her and the children of Zedger, it will take all of her team, new and old friends, pulling together. But the new enemy has weapons Marci's team aren't familiar with and an armada far greater in size and power than anything Astral. Will Marci and her team be able to free indentured Tellurians and the children of Zedger? Or will Marci lose everything and succumb to the control of a new kind of mind jack torture, leaving her crew without its commander?

A diary is usually a personal record, where you write your secrets, your innermost thoughts and feelings. It's something you keep for yourself, something you don't share with others. But not this diary. The “Diary of a Human Target” is different from any other, because it is not intended to be kept secret; on the contrary, it is meant to be read by as many people as possible. It could be the diary of every person who feels isolated and trapped in a hostile world and can't stay silent any more. It reflects a longing for real communication in an uncommunicative society. Page by page, it exposes the subtle but inexorable war which is continually waged throughout human society, as it unfolds the tormented youth of Yvonne Fezarris: A free mind who is constantly targeted by visible and invisible evil forces and seeks to know the reason why -until she reaches an incredible conclusion...
‘I don’t even know why I’m bothering to write this. It isn’t like I’m going to ever read it, and I certainly wouldn’t see the point of showing it to anybody else. I suppose it’s just for the sake of writing, even if it’s not very creative or even particularly interesting, at least it’s writing.’ These are the words of Thomas Mark Crites as he embarks on a period of rehabilitation for his dependence on alcohol. Crites (as he preferred to be called) had intelligence, wit and a talent for art that earned him respect in the small press world. He self-published much of his work as well as that of others, and it seemed like youth was on his side. What got in the way was the booze. ‘A few beers at lunch and drinks around dinner turned into straight alcohol (vodka, whiskey, rum) from the first opening of the eyes on through to blackout.’ Following another serious accident that he cannot remember (in this instance a face-first fall down a flight of stairs), Crites’ family convince him to seek professional help. He believes his treatment will last only days, but it takes many long months. Through journal entries and correspondence with family and close friends, this is Crites’ story, one that documents the months prior to, during, and immediately following his admission to a clinic for alcohol dependency. It is an uncompromising and ultimately tragic account, but filled with humour and insight in Crites’ own inimitable style.

Ever since the first edition of Ligotti's "Songs of a Dead Dreamer" appeared in 1985, it was clear that here was an author of extraordinary brilliance. Now here is a book about him, a symposium of explorations and examinations of the Ligottian universe by leading critics.
