Dead Fox Publishing See other projects related to this listing. About Dead Fox Publishing is a group of queer, disabled, neurodivergent cryptids looking to lift marginalized voices and share the unique and the weird. The forest crew worked seamlessly together in a previous life, so when that life ended, they were reborn, peeking out from the underbrush like new growth after a fire.The crew are also authors and artists; with the state of the world being what it is and the influx of AI slop prevalent in the industry, we want to build a community to support and lift each other up.
