Apocalypse Culture - Softcover

TWO THOUSAND YEARS have passed since the death of Christ and the world is going mad. Nihilist prophets, born-again pornographers, transcendental schizophrenics and just plain folks are united in their belief in an imminent global catastrophe. What are the forces lurking behind this mass delirium? First published in 1987 Apocalyse Culture has immediately touched a nerve. Alternately excoriated and lauded as epochal, the most important book of the decade, APOCALYPSE CULTURE had begun to articulate what many inwardly sensed-the fear-inspired upsurge of irrationaiism and faith, the clash of irreconcilable forces, and the ever-looming specter of Up de race. In its present incarnation for Feral House, APOCALYPSE CULTURE has significantly increased in size, taking on new perspectives on our current crisis, with pertinent revisions of many articles from the original edition. APOCALYPSE CULTURE is a startling, absorbing and exhaustive tour through the nether regions of today's psychotic brainscape.'Parfrey has edited a new book of revelation, a collection which is almost as awesome and terrifying as the original biblical text'.-EDWIN POUNCEY, NME
