"Erbeth Transmissions is a deconstruction of some of the universes we live in." - Fritz Fredric
"The absurdity of Robert Anton Wilson infused with the paranoia of Philip K. Dick and taunted with the vision of Wilhelm Reich.”
-- Ariel Jenway
“A cosmo-demonic-space-opera-anthem for Generation X.”
-- Jarl Drakon
Aeons ago, a cosmic race of beings stumbled upon a lonely planet that would one day be called Earth.
Who were they?
Angels? Demons? Reptilians?
Mankind’s benefactors? Or perhaps his oppressors?
Where did intelligent life originate?
Earth? The Moon? Mars? Or perhaps somewhere far beyond the boundaries of our Solar System?
In the tradition of John Milton's Paradise Lost and Mark Twain's Letters from Earth; Erbeth Transmissions examines Man’s apocryphal origins and extra-terrestrial connections, contrasting his evolutionary potential against his self-destructive nature and the despairing search for the meaning of his existence.

The Erbeth Transmissions is a wonderfully dark alternative mythology to Earth. Rather than the accepted Judeo-Christian creationism that we swallow as schoolchildren, Fritz Fredric populates our planet and worlds beyond with alien angels and demons whose names may sound just a bit familiar to those who delve into more esoteric histories. Somewhere between the drunken humanism of Hunter S. Thompson and the dreamscapes of H. P. Lovecraft lies Fredric’s view of heaven, hell, and all of the cosmos. A planetary landing becomes both a fall from grace and an ascension for the future of all mankind, and the true nature, and perhaps danger, of man’s “angels” is explored. This book is not for those who are comfortable with the world they have grown up knowing, but if you have the urge to explore the mirror image of all that is held holy, you might just want to pick this up to read on the spaceship with Beelzebub.
I really enjoyed The Erbeth Transmissions. It's brilliant, original, wise and fun to read. The style is reminiscent of Gurdjieff's Beelzebub's Tales, without the convoluted language. The pages are chock full of social satire, reframed mythology, and outright thought-provoking wisdom. Great stuff! My only complaint here is that the book would benefit from the attention of a good copyeditor. There are typos of various sorts on many pages. The writing is strong enough to carry you past most of them, but at times it gets distracting. Nonetheless, well worth the read! Take a journey through space and time with the Erbeth Transmissions!
