We're revisiting our back catalogue and the ONLY original novel we've published—M. Rickert's "The Shipbuilder of Bellfairie." This exquisite mystery is an amalgam of Frankenstein, and A Confederacy of Dunces. We want you to read it. The eBook is on sale for just $2.

@alexhorne.bsky.social I am trying to watch the season 20 final in the Taskmaster app. It's not there Alex. It's on YouTube already.
Sad in Canada.😢

Hey! I'm doing a small Uncertain Sons event at North Fig Bookshop next month. Brian Evenson will be there, which is wild and very nice of him! I think there will be tacos. Maybe we'll talk about Wolfe and weird horror. If you live in LA stop by. Will be chill and mainly my cousins. 9/20, 7 pm.

Wild that people spend a little money to buy books written by obscure authors published by a small press based out of some guy’s house and then they get the books in the mail one day and read them and like them and in many cases go back to the website and order more books.
