Adam Parfrey (April 12, 1957 – May 10, 2018) was an American journalist, author, editor, and the publisher of Feral House books, whose work in all three capacities frequently centered on unusual, extreme, or "forbidden" topics. Previously, he was the publisher of several magazines, and another publisher, Amok Press. He also wrote for several magazines and wrote, cowrote, or edited several books, among them Apocalypse Culture. == Early life == Parfrey was born in New York City, but during childhood moved to Los Angeles with his parents, actor Woodrow Parfrey and Rosa Ellovich, a stage director of Jewish descent. After graduating high school, he attended the University of California, Santa Cruz, and UCLA. He wrote for the UCLA's paper, the Daily Bruin, before dropping out. == Career == After dropping out of UCLA, Parfrey moved to San Francisco, where he began a short-lived experimental magazine, IDEA, in May 1981. That publication folded after two issues. In 1984, with George Petros, Parfrey launched EXIT magazine, which they described as an "outlaw liberal Fascist Sci-Fi Pop Art magazine". Topics in this magazine included serial killers, depraved sexuality, and Nazism.
