My soul’s a burden to me, I’ve had enough of it. I’m eager to be in that country, where the sun kills every question. I don’t belong here.

I still get nightmares. In fact, I get them so often I should be used to them by now. I’m not. No one ever really gets used to nightmares.

of the spirits had been let in—
as intense as an epileptic aura—
and that no longer would I sing

As a tiny independent DIY press we have zero funding, we'll likely never be on an awards list, but we are passionate about what we do, and paying writers.

We pay our writers 50% of profits.

Every sale matters more than you know. Thank you for the continued support 💜

When you are old and grey and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep

Nothing whets the intelligence more than a passionate suspicion, nothing develops all the faculties of an immature mind more than a trail running away into the dark.

Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions.
