Feral House is a book publisher owned and operated by Adam Parfrey. The publisher itself describes the books it sells as "pure information", and says the topics of the books are "forbidden".

Feral House was founded in 1989 and is headquartered in Port Townsend, Washington.[1]

A sister imprint to Feral House, Process Media, was founded in 2005 in a collaboration with Jodi Wille of Dilettante Press to publish titles apart from the connotations of Feral House. [2]
