Hit Man: A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors
Rex Feral kills for hire. Daring. Unafraid. Professional. Now he dares to tell his professional secrets.
Feral is a hit man. Some consider him a criminal. Others think him a hero. In truth, he is a lethal weapon aimed at the enemy of the one who pays him. He is the last recourse in these times when laws are so twisted that justice goes unserved. He is a man who controls his destiny through his private code of ethics, who feels no twinge of guilt at doing his job. He is a professional killer.
Learn how a pro makes a living at this craft without landing behind bars. Find out how he gets hit assignments, creates a false working identity, makes a disposable silencer, leaves the scene without a trace of evidence, watches his mark unobserved, and more. An expert assassin and bodyguard, Feral reveals the details of how to get in, do the job, and get out - without getting caught. For informational purposes only!

Very dissatisfied.I took a hiatus from school to try and make my way in the world of contract killing with this book as my guide.
Despite following every guideline, rule, suggestion, and example I didn't complete one hit. Or even attempt a hit.
Actually, I never even received a call for my services.
So now I'm back at school learning worthless things, my dreams of a life in the criminal underworld, regrettably unfulfilled.

After seeing this book mentioned in an episode of the Radiotopia podcast Criminal, and hearing that it was available online, I decided to check it out. Ended up reading the entire thing.
I thought my primary reaction would be morbid fascination, but this book is funny as all hell! On the surface it's supposed to be a guide written by a hitmen, for other potential hitmen, but so many of the things in this book are badly written, over the top and absurd, and fall into the category of shitthatdidnthappen.txt that I couldn't help giggling constantly when I was reading it.
Highlights include
- Advice to fill hollow-point bullets with "liquid poison", without specifying what kind of poison LIQUID POISON would be
- Frequent advice to use "flesh coloured" disposable gloves, which I've never seen in my life.
- "Throwaway cars and boats may even become common and you even own your very own plane, through legal methods explained later."
- You can totally kill a mark efficiently by ordering a puffer fish for your own personal salt-water aquarium and poisoning him with that, or putting a venomous snake in his letterbox in the hope that he'll get a heart attack and die, because idk, Colour of Night was a documentary. (This snake method wouldn't work on herpetologists, or Australians.)
- The part in the book where the narrator speaks to a police officer, asking him "under the guise of a writer", how someone could carry out a hit. The cop describes a fairly plausible, un-elaborate method, which the narrator then discounts as useless because it didn't involve enough pufferfish poison or home made silencers
- all the people in the book to be assassinated are fat and smoke huge cigars while watching television
- Apparently in the 80s dynamite was just sitting around at construction sites and you could just walk in and grab it
- apparently in the 80s quicksand was also a valid and accessible way to dispose of bodies
The most disturbing bit in the book is the end section, on women. Unsurprisingly, it lacks nuance. And I quote:
because of their uncanny ability to get into places and situations a man might find hard to duplicate, because of their deceitful, "game-playing" natures, and because a woman can be twice as vicious as a man, a woman can be a better hired executioner than a man.
Fortunately for the world, a woman usually makes only one man her target, and the nesting instinct quickly takes her off the street and ties her down to the little world of babies, laundry and housework she creates and protects for her own. Unfortunately, even a hit man cannot deny that what women have to offer is a basic necessity.
Well ok sure, if you say so.
There's other comedy to be had, like the idea that a guy's scar on his...bum? left a print on the toilet seat? And he got convicted? God I don't even know. But ignoring the comedy, there's the fact that this book was technically used as a manual for murder at least once. How does this do as an instructional piece of writing? Well...it's not very good. Most of the useful information could be found in your average crime novel, and there's a lot of extraneous, ridiculous crap as well. A lot of the practical advice is also extremely out of date in a post September 11th world. There's no way you could book flights through a travel agent without providing any form of ID, for one. Most of the anecdotes about hitmen the author knows sound extremely fake, including but not limited to the very stupid and offensive story about a "full blooded Indian" who's so into torture that he comes in his own pants while putting the screws on someone. As an instruction manual for crime it's less accurate and useful than the significantly more plausible "Pop A Cap In Yo Ass" by Ben Watt and Estelle, which at least provides solid shoplifting tips.
I'm not sure if I've been put on some kind of watch list for reading this, but by god was it entertaining.

Unlike many of you, I have actually read this book. Someone was gracious (dumb) enough to put the whole thing online.
There's a rumor going around that it was in fact written by a Florida housewife, and there's nothing in the book that would refute that. No extremely technical advice or real insight into the profession.
If you are seriously considering entry into a career in contract killing, I recommend the Delta Press books available at most gun shows.

Rex Feral, Hit Man (Paladin Press, 1992)
The incredible amount of attention Hit Man received after the 1993 James Perry case has blown the book way, way out of proportion, mostly because of first amendment issues. Paladin settled a lawsuit out of court by promising to pull all extant copies of Hit Man off the shelf and no longer offer the book for sale; this, of course, did nothing but garner huge amounts of free publicity for a book very few people had ever heard of from a press very few people had ever heard of, splash both book and press across the pages of newspapers across America, and immediately send the price skyrocketing on the collectors' market. (Copies of the book destroyed by Paladin--and this isn't the usual "strip" destroying, the books were actually torn in half horizontally--regularly go for upwards of $50 on ebay, well over three times the original cover price.) Another, even more harmful (from the lawsuit's perspective) side effect: the book is now out of copyright, and is thus easily found free online with a quick Yahoo search. What a great way to suppress a book: get it far more publicity than it would have ever had, and make it available free to any twelve-year-old who knows how to work a search engine!
Many already existing reviews on the book, and a good deal of commentary inspired by the court case, consider it a joke. (One wag goes so far as to suggest "Rex Feral" is actually a romance author, judging by "his" attitudes towards women in the book's last couple of chapters.) If so, it's a pretty good one; the author has taken a good number of pieces of data that one can find in your average David Morrell or Ian Fleming novel, put them all in one place, and constructed a how-to book on the art of covert murder for hire. As Reason columnist Jacob Sullum says in his rant on the idiocy of the lawsuit, "Still, it's doubtful that people like James Perry were the main audience for Hit Man. If they were, somehow the thousands of murders they committed have gone unnoticed." No joke.
This leads to another, more interesting (and sinister) hypothesis, and note that I have no evidence at all to back me up on this: Rex Feral really is a hit man. He wrote Hit Man to eliminate the possible competition. (After all, how much work is really out there, per year, for a contract killer?) Any reader of murder mysteries and espionage books is going to chuckle at the impossible complexity of some of Feral's supposed methods; what better way to get earnest young would-be hit men out of the way than having them spend weeks working on homemade silencers while the pros from Dover are out doing the actual job and collecting the fee? (And lord knows that homemade silencer would be, how shall we say, distinctive, when pieces were found. Anyone who's read three or four espionage novels is already familiar with the "bang-it-together-in-five-minutes" homemade silencer preferred in novels, which requires nothing more than steel wool and a few washers.)
So the upshot? Don't believe the hype. It's amusing, for what it is, but the only real danger here is that a small cadre of stupid, incompetent criminals will end up dying of wood alcohol poisoning while trying to make these silencers. **

I have no idea how true this is, but reading this with the commonly accepted (?) theory in mind that "Rex Feral" is really a divorced mother of two just looking for something to do with her time makes it THAT much better. Honestly (shamefully?), a hitman's "how-to" guide is interesting to read.
I've heard, unfortunately, people have taken this seriously. But I've heard that because they got caught, so it must not be that great of a guide. I did enjoy reading it, but... dur, don't act on this. I'm just delighted by the picture of this older woman doing all this crime research and writing as though she's an accomplished hitman and then taking a break to cook dinner for the kiddos. It makes for fun FICTION.

Hit Man has got to be one of the most-poorly written books I've ever had the misfortune to read and I don't say that lightly, being that it was written, ostensibly, by a professional hit man.
Even if you don't know the background on this book—and there's a lot of it—you begin to feel as you read it, that there's something not quite right about it. Like the Jon Benet Ramsey ransom note, it strikes you immediately as having been written by a woman. And a not very intelligent woman at that.
It's the use of phrases such as "God forbid" and a feminine perspective on the evils women pose to the professional hit man that is the giveaway. Like when you read something written by somebody whose first language is not English with phrases that might be grammatical, but would never be written or spoken by a native speaker.
All in all, it seems cobbled together after using Soldier of Fortune magazine and other books from Paladin Press as research.

I own this book, mainly because of the first amendment value. I read about it in one of my journalism classes back in 1998 or so.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hit_Man:...
I can't really vouch for the content, since I own it more as an artifact than anything. Still, since I'm a writer, who knows? I own guides to poisons and autopsy manuals too.
Or maybe you want to contact me about my 'rates' to take care of your 'problems.'

I read this back in high school, and I had no idea it wasn't real or whatever.
At the time I thought it was engrossing and awesome, I couldn't put it down. I found it as a TXT file floatign around the internet and I read through the whole thing.
Really neat stuff, great entertainment, although the usefulness of the stuff in it is highly dated.

As soon as I saw the this book featured on 60 Minutes in a story about a lawsuit against the publisher I immediately sought to acquire it. Of course, I wasn't looking for any instructions or methods, I simply wanted it because it was to become a so-called banned book. If I remember the backstory correctly, back in the 1990s a man a hired a hit man to kill his family based on instructions in the book. Surviving relatives sued the published, who settled and agreed to stop publishing the book... thus immediately spiking its resale value.
I did eventually buy the book in a second-hand shop or garage sale - for a couple bucks, not the inflated price (yay!). I read it out of curiosity to see what all the fuss was about. Although not very lengthy, this book is a definite slog ; it was very tedious getting to the end. The writing is amateurish and needs editing. Ironically, the methods outlined in the chapters are either out of date or simply wrong. Anyone following these instructions would be easily traced by investigators.
It remains on my shelf as a novelty and conversation piece.

November 3, 2021The advice here is relatively detailed but non-general, what to buy instead of how to decide what to buy, instructions and not principles. It also gets bogged down at times by the amount of energy spent sexing up contract killing, and I don't believe hands-on experience would be necessary to write something like this. Most interesting topic was one I hadn't seen discussed before, which is how to build clientele in the first place, and its solutions seemed pretty commonsensical. Overall it has the feeling of a book from Paladin Press, Loompanics or any other small, edgy counterculture press, but doesn't really talk shop at length the way more chemically or mechanically inclined books from these presses do. Ironically, it's probably best suited for giving depth to the power and revenge fantasies the author himself chuckles at in the opening.

This book was something alright. Almost certainly not written by a real hitman. Lots of stuff you could figure out by reading some mystery novels (whether it's right or not) and then some bizarre tangents here and there like eventually you'll be so successful you'll have your own jet and pufferfish aquarium? Okay. SO outdated now, too. "Airlines don't check IDs for tickets bought in cash." Ah, simpler times.
Entertaining if bizarre.

Small and fun "guide". Pretty obviously satirical and half a joke even if someone have misunderstood the book so much that it is banned..
And even if it is fun you at once see that even some modern gang criminals would have done better job if they read this.

I'm sure that not too many people know who was it exactly that produced the highly controversial content of the book. It is a good bet to say with all the things considered, that the author was not an assassin for hire, but this book sure hopes to be one.
It is very true that the book certainly doesn't go into too much detail over its' subjects. Some of the content of the book regarding the methods and practises in "assassination situations" and the preparations of such things do seem like common sense more than anything else. I am convinced that this particular publication was either made for humorous purposes or perhaps to just create controversy. Or perhaps both.
But, does the book serve its' purpose as a manual for planned assassinations ? Well, even if it has been written or compiled by a clear layman towards the subject, some people have apparently used the information in it to carry out "hits" - which proves that at least some people seem to find it genuine enough to use as the basis for crimes. Although, I myself am convinced that the person responsible for the information wasn't a real hit man at all, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the information he provides wouldn't work in certain situations.
So, you know, overall this one is not very believable as a true guide from the expert over the subject, but I would see that certain parts of it can be used as motivational material if nothing else - which isn't that great of an idea, to think of it.

Hit Man over all was a good read. The unique insight into the detailed processes executed by a "Hit Man", real or not, gives this book a deep sense plausibility. Whether these techniques are effective or not (more not, given the triple murder in 1993 resulted in the capture of James Perry) they give the reader simultaneously a feeling of vulnerability, thinking anyone else can be reading this book and plotting a murder, and empowerment, having the reader himself the same information to "successfully" take another life. The read itself is alright. The Real enjoyment for me was..is the history of the physical book, because after various murders tied with this book, the publisher paladin press was forced to destroy all copies of this book. Also most digital copies that i found online did not have the illustrations that i found on the actual book.

This book has always been meant as a joke. It was reportedly written by a Floridian housewife using the hit man pseudonym Rex Feral (King of Beasts). One chapter of the book advises you to make sure you wear gloves when snacking from the victim's refrigerator. If you can't tell by reading it that it is a joke, then you deserve what you get for acting on the information given. Although one person has been arrested for using the info in this book and Paladin was sued by the victim's family, there is no harm in the book. I think this is extremely interesting and humorous reading material. Especially if you're a fan of spy/assassin/hitman/sniper fiction.

A do it yourself approach to contract killing. Written as a compendium for the trade, it has several big gaps, but it does acknowledge this and offers more sources for specifics. I now know how to make a homemade silencer and how to track a man without being seen. Should you be afraid? Hardly; considering this book has been around since the 70's. Although there was some nut job who took it seriously and killed a mans wife and boyfriend for him. A book was written about it. A book about a book. Huh...
June 5, 2021
I found this book to be pretty funny. I stumbled across a pdf of it while reading through comments on Reddit. I read the whole thing in one sitting because it drew me in. It's unlike any other book I've read. It almost felt 'wrong' to be reading it. I think I kept reading because of that.
It is rumored that a stay at home mom (or something like that) wrote this just for shits and giggles. It is also rumored that this book is banned in some places. I read on wikipedia that one idiot actually tried to use the book to aid and prepare him for a hit... he's still in jail?

This truly is banned in the U.S., not just challenged. The Publisher was court ordered to destroy all remaining copies, and pull them from shelves, etc. So much for our First Amendment Rights. My copy is a 1st/1st (not sure it even made it to a 2nd printing), unread, mint condition. I own it because I'm somewhat of a collector, and out of pure curiosity. See the Publisher's FAQ page at http://www.paladin-press.com/faqs/ for more information.
Doggies, do NOT eat this one, hear? lol

doubtful that this author is who he says he is. the writing style is disorganized and childish. even taking account the date of publication there are massive holes in the action plans that would land a wanna-be in jail. there was only 1 actual bit of education in the entire book, the how-to on homemade silencers. waste of my time.

December 18, 2010
I think as a real-life manual this book is very much out of date. And focuses on the US hit man, not the world wide one, and doesn't say much at all about hit women.
Now, if I were to use this book to write a "perfect crime" story, then it's a perfect run down of what to do and what not to do!

There is nothing amazing about this book.
nothing you can't work out from watching a few Hitman movies.
It's logical and everything is made to sound easier than it would be.
Yet it is an easy short read. So if your tempted, just read it for laughs.
Enjoy.
