Since the very begining The Christopher Meehan International Film Festival have supported our literary brother’s. This years official selection is:
A tour de force of darkness, Encyclopaedia of Hell is an “invasion manual” of Earth written by Lord Satan for his invading hordes of Demons, complete with hundreds of unpleasant illustrations, diagrams and a comprehensive and utterly repulsive Dictionary of Earth Terms.
Since the customs and mores of humanity are alien and inconceivable to demons, Satan wrote this strangely poetic military handbook for the enlightenment and edification of his Demon Armies. A masterpiece expressing Satan’s hatred for humanity and himself, the Encyclopedia includes “Techniques of Stalking and Eating Humans”; “Methods of Canning Human Pus”; and “Dicing and Slicing Orphaned Children.”
Why the invasion? During the last century in particular, Hell has become seriously overcrowded. Satan needs more land mass for the damned; and to use the humans livestock to feed his hungry demon invaders.
Since this book is the 666th commemorative edition eons after the Invasion was successful, this Encyclopedia contains special commemorative material.
Author Martin Olson’s savage wit provides the firepower for a preposterous literary feat unaccomplished since Mark Twain passed—channeling the real voice of Satan.

About the publisher, Feral House: “The most courageous and incendiary publisher in the U.S.”
— Headpress
“The measure of an alternative publisher is the production of books that no one else would do (or has done). By this simple criterion, I rank Los Angeles’s Feral House, a small press with a taste for the outrageous, among the most valuable in America.”
— Richard Kostelanetz, Rain Taxi
“Feral House is an outstanding publisher, sort of the thinking man’s Loompanics, like the old Grove Press if it had been run by demented post-graduate students… With a definite bend toward the dark side, Feral House has consistently supported popular culture studies and analysis that illuminate hidden aspects of our world.”
