have it on good authority that some VP people are hate-reading the book, and some haters are leaving negative reviews on Amazon / Goodreads — if you have a second, a review of your own at either spot would be very cool

an article about the owner of the Cardinals walking out a door to nowhere, falling to his death while attending a Veiled Prophet meeting at the Moolah Temple in 1943 — huge thank you to Andy Gittlitz for sharing ⚾

“The Prairieland cases should be understood as the government’s effort to heroize ICE in the face of community defense efforts to stop mass deportations, and to shift the blame for political violence from federal officers to the left.” — @melissagiragrant.com for @newrepublic.com

THIS SUNDAY — in STL — come to Tower Grove for the Anti-VP Picnic at the Sons of Rest Pavilion — 4 PM!! 🌹 @stldsa.org 🌹 act.stldsa.org/anti-veiled-...

Lucas Spiro on "The Veiled Prophet: Secret Societies, White Supremacy, and the Struggle for St. Louis (@haymarketbooks.org). A history of the power of money in St. Louis -- how a secret society turned class war into ritual and never let go. artsfuse.org/330925/book-...

My review of Devin O'Shea's fantastic book. I could not come up with an original pun or allusion involving the word "veil" for my review title.

Read an excerpt from @devintoshea.bsky.social’s “The Veiled Prophet: Secret Societies, White Supremacy, and the Struggle for St. Louis.” @haymarketbooks.org www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/how-...

The Veiled Prophet would be misinterpreted as a Santa Claus character, but its true origins are as a Ku Klux character. He was a direct response to the St. Louis Commune — an interracial show of force by the city’s workers. www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/how-...

~E338: Arch Enemies~ @devintoshea.bsky.social stops by to chat about his new book The Veiled Prophet!—a history of America from the St Louis Commune to the Ferguson rebellion www.patreon.com/thiswreckage...

what really happens when the few at the top steal from the many at the bottom (via @devintoshea.bsky.social’s newly released The Veiled Prophet)

Tanner gets his nostalgia goggles on, reminiscing about St. Louis. Guest Devin Thomas O’Shea, thankfully, brings things back down to historical reality, where the city is beset by a strange, Klannish secret society that's made life worse for everyone. tannerfboyle.substack.com/p/31-unveili...

@devintoshea.bsky.social has just released the thorough history book, The Veiled Prophet: Secret Societies, White Supremacy, & the Struggle for St. Louis, which is a vital tour of American history with the titular STL-based secret society as the throughline. Follow him & check it out.

More and more people are talking about it

New entry into my autographed book collection @jasonkander.bsky.social @jkass99.bsky.social @scalzi.com and now @devintoshea.bsky.social

Got to the Novel Neighbor to pick up my preorder 10 minutes before close. Fuck yeah.

It’s fun reading @devintoshea.bsky.social’s The Vieled Prophet and seeing some of my favorite historians cited

New Orleans, Miami, and Las Vegas may get most of the attention, but St Louis might quietly be the weirdest city in the US. I’m really looking forward to this book

@devintoshea.bsky.social's book, 'The Veiled Prophet: Secret Societies, White Supremacy, and the Struggle for St. Louis' is out today. US listeners can purchase their copy direct from @haymarketbooks.org:

It is PUBLICATION DAY for THE VEILED PROPHET — huge thank you to everyone helped make this possible. Buy a copy local and often 🔥 leviathanbookstore.com/store/p/the-...

just grabbed a copy of this, excited to read it while camping for two weeks

Happy publication day to Devin Thomas O'Shea and his *incredible* book THE VEILED PROPHET, the history of a secret society in St. Louis that's weirder and more dangerous than you could possibly believe. Thorough political history, a riveting story, and a Marxist critique of power old and new

happy The Veiled Prophet publication day

@devintoshea.bsky.social having been passingly familiar with the VP, I was watching the 1962 Cape Fear & this dialogue jumped out at me. Cut to a week later and your episode of @bloodwork.show drops. How’s that for Pynchonesque… My copy of the book arrived today—excited to dig in.
