Anarchism: 2017: Margaret Killjoy: The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion, TOR
  • Excellent and short novel about a drifter who visits a town in Idaho in search of answers about her best friend’s death.
  • Members of the town had previously summoned a demon, a red three antlered deer, that violently kills anyone who seeks power over others, thereby maintaining the anarchist order.

Black Metal: 2016: Jorn “Necrobutcher” Stubberud: The Death Archives: Mayhem 1984-94, Ecstatic Peace Library
  • Excellent memoir of the earlier years of the Black Metal band Mayhem. From their inception to the time of Euronymous’ murder.
  • The book is primarily photographs accompanied by text of stories related to those photos.
  • Stubberud’s memoirs of Mayhem’s late singer, Dead, are the book’s most interesting parts. Dead is responsible for much of the look and ideas of Black Metal. Stubberud credits Dead with having written most of the lyrics for their classic album, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, and describes Dead as making connections with death that exceed the theatrical.
