Anarchist Farm
III Publishing 192pp ISBN: 1-886625-01-8 $21.00

If you loved George Orwell's 'Animal Farm', you'll love this 'sequel'. Many who have read Orwell's classic missed the basic underlying anti-authoritarian message, instead reading it as an allegory about the Soviet Union. In Anarchist Farm we find an extension of the philosophies underlying Animal Farm, but this time with a more upbeat outcome. Contemporary concerns such as ecocide and animal rights are also woven into this readable book. In fact, it is written in a style appropriate for teenage readers. Anarchist Farm is funny, thought-provoking, and inspiring. It's an excellent sequel to Animal Farm. Let's hope that a few more readers 'get it' this time. - From Practical Anarchy #10

The Last Days of Christ the Vampire
III Publishing 192pp ISBN: 1-886625-00-X $21.00

The Last Days of Christ the Vampire by J.G. Eccarius is set in Providence, Rhode Island, where a small group of people discovers that Jesus really Lives, he rose from the dead and controls the Catholic Church and Protestant sects as well. It's an action-packed battle against the ancient vampire. "A unique underground classic. Combining unusual conspiracy theories with archetypal suspense/thriller techniques, Eccarius creates a compelling novel that propels the reader forward through a maze of blasphemous mystery that winds its way across the U.S., to Europe, and back again. Last Days is a real page-turner and makes the fangs of Anne Rice's vampires seem as dull as a butterknife." -- Jennifer Joseph, San Francisco Bay Guardian

Gagneur, Louise
The Nihilist Princess
III Publishing 254pp ISBN: 1-886625-05-0 $25.20

The Nihilist Princess was originally published in the United States in 1881. By then the radically feminist author, Louise M. Gagneur, was one of the best-selling writers in Europe. Gagneur tales the tale of Princess Wanda, a relation of the Czar who has joined the nihilists. The nihilists are for freedom and against the enslavement of the Russian people by the Czar and his aristocracy. Though Wanda is the daughter of the powerful Prince Kryloff and is invited to the best balls of the empire, she must be careful to conceall her nihilist beliefs because even she could be tortured, exiled, or executed if caught by the secret police. This novel is a 19th century page-turner; most novels of that era now forced upon children in our schools pale by comparison.

Lofton, Saab
A.D.
III Publishing 320pp ISBN: 0-9622937-8-4 $25.20

In a few years the White Aryan Resistance and the Nation of Islam will divide Amercia into racist regimes. Saab Lofton's A.D. starts with a look at one man's life under Farrakan's regime, then dives centuries into the future to look at a Libertarian Socialist Democracy, Saab's vision of Utopia. "The exposure of the inherently corrupt nature of nationalist ideologies, and the revival of the spirit of the original Black Panther Party, lies at the heart of A.D., an informed, obsessively researched and highly entertaining first novel by the 28-year old Saab Lofton. A blend of pulp and politics structured in two sections, A.D. re-imagines both the creation mythologies of the Nation of Islam and the dystopias of George Orwell's '1984' and 'Animal Farm' as a racially segregated America ruled by the Nation of Islam and White Aryan Resistance." Darius James, New York Press.

The ultimate, highly-offensive, anti-censorship satire. A book you won't want to read if you believe in censorship.
