Amok Press

Amok Press was an American book publishing company founded by Adam Parfrey and Ken Swezey in 1986, based in New York City. They were known for their controversial books. Their first publications were an English translation of Michael, a novel by Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, and Apocalypse Culture, an anthology of the controversial and transgressive, which became a cult classic.

Amok Press stemmed from the similar and often confused, but separate, mail order catalogue and bookstore Amok Books. It was one of many independent publishers that arose in the 1980s, though was one of the more right-leaning. Despite the success of its initial books, Amok Press was short lived, and published only eight books before shuttering. After it closed, it was succeeded by the publishers Blast Books, founded by Swezey, and Feral House, founded by Parfrey.
