Abstruse Press

About this Publisher

Dave Higgins’ first professional publication was an anthology of speculative fiction. With a second anthology due to be released in May 2019 and another two scheduled for later in the same year, he decided to create a separate imprint to distinguish between his own work and his anthologies. With several flavours of science-fiction, fantasy, western, and slipstream in his catalogue, he wanted something that suggested speculative fiction but didn’t feel like any particular genre. As several publishers were already using variations of curious, he used another of his favourite words: abstruse.
