Feral House is an American book publisher founded in 1989 by Adam Parfrey and based in Port Townsend, Washington.[1]
Following the death of the founder Adam Parfrey in 2018,[2] Feral House continues to be run by Parfrey's sister, Jessica Parfrey and Christina Ward.[3]
The company's first book was The Satanic Witch (1989; originally published in 1971 by Dodd, Mead & Company) by Anton LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan.
Tim Burton's film Ed Wood was based upon the Feral House title, Nightmare of Ecstasy: The Life and Art of Edward D. Wood Jr.[4] The Feral House title by Steven Blush has been made into a feature documentary of the same name, released by Sony Classics in the fall of 2006.[5]
