About

We are an independent publisher of pulp-inspired fiction. We like it dark, gritty, raw, unapologetic, and full of explosive energy. We do not shy away from the experimental or the unconventional. Genre-benders are A-OK with us. We publish anything from Gothic street crime anti-heroes, to Space-Western Operatics, to Speculative Post-Apoc Sci-noir. Or anything in between or to the side. We want to make you uncomfortable. To squirm a little. To feel the same anguish, shame, and desperation of the characters whose lives are lived at the brink and whose stories are told to you in blood-soaked black letters on the page. So give us a try.

Fiction On Hiatus

We are a pulp/genre fiction publisher. We do not publish “literary” fiction. We are not even sure what that is these days. A lot of coffee shops and talk of Brooklyn, we suppose. We want pain. Debts unpaid. Stores robbed for the cash to pay those debts. That cash blown on hookers and meth. Maybe with a robot thrown in for good measure. Who knows. Make it dark. Make it gritty. Make it sing. Use the words that break the heart and the bone.
