The celebrated thematic magazines of the notorious Process Church of the Final Judgment cult were created to be hawked on the street in order to raise money and attract like-minded adherents to their unorthodox Gnostic theology.
Printed in order of their first appearance, the Sex, Fear, and Death issues are here reproduced in their entirety in a handsome clothbound book.
The Feral House release Love, Sex, Fear, Death: The Inside Story of The Process Church of the Final Judgment by Timothy Wyllie and other ex-members explored the history and aftermath of the notorious organization and the accusations lodged against it. Soon after its publication, Feral House received dozens of requests for full reproduction of the original magazines that are now sold online (when they can be found) for over one thousand dollars apiece.
The magazines reproduced in this book are lionized as being decades ahead of their time in terms of the sophistication of its art and design. The cult was also attacked for including in its Death issue a contribution by Charles Manson. This inclusion led the dark-robed cult to be characterized as a sinister death cult.
This book provides an introduction by Adam Parfrey, and by the magazine's original art director, Timothy Wyllie. Adam Parfrey contextualizes the meanings and impact of the magazines on the world at large.

The cover has very minor scuffs and bumps to the corners (see photos). From the back cover: 'The gnostic collective known as The Process Church of the Final Judgment added a dark, apocalyptic edge to the mid to late '60's, a time otherwise known for its peace and love. Conspiracy theorists maintain that the Process Church was a dangerous, even murderous, cult, deeply affiliated with Charles Manson, who contributed an essay to the notorious "Death Issue," included within. Graphic artists say that the Process Church's thematic color magazines were boldly imaginative and decades ahead of their time. Issues of these thematic magazines are extremely rare, and when auctioned sell for over one thousand dollars apiece. This edition, limited to 1,200 copies, reproduces the best and most controversial issues in their entirety. Also included is the essay, "The Gods on War," written by the cult's "Omega," which reveals how Jehovah, Lucifer and Satan have become filled with apocalyptic vengeance against man.A discussion with the magazines' art director Timothy Wyllie is also included.'.
