Burden Lake Press
@burdenlakepress.bsky.social
Based in Beacon, NY & nestled in the Hudson Valley, we're a small indie publisher of sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and other gloriously odd genres (yes, comics too), with the same energy that fueled our childhoods in the 1980s. Visit us at burdenlakepress.com
We’re live.

Echoes of Rylomi, Issue 1, the debut release from Burden Lake Press, is now available directly from burdenlakepress.com, in both PRINT and DIGITAL.

For fans of Arcane, Black Mirror, and Nausicaä, where sci-fi, myth, and coming-of-age collide, and imagination might just save the world.

24 hours.

Tomorrow, Echoes of Rylomi, Issue 1, goes live on burdenlakepress.com, in both print and digital editions. Friday 11 AM ET / 8 AM PT.

Stanza Books in Beacon, NY, sold out of every copy that wasn’t already in the window (thank you, truly), but fresh stock has just landed. If you missed your chance, now’s the time.

And keep your eyes open! Rumor has it, Echoes may soon be whispering from new corners of the Hudson Valley.

What a night. Our launch party for Echoes of Rylomi was everything we hoped for: a packed room, good drinks, and better company. We nearly sold out of every copy on the spot (if you missed it, a few display copies are still up for grabs now at Stanza Books in Beacon, NY. Get 'em while they last!).

Our very first publication...Echoes of Rylomi is a magazine that combines illustration, sequential art, and prose. Local Beacon writers and artists have been working hard to make this magazine just for you. Prepare to be razzle-dazzled. The debut issue is coming soon!

Burden Lake Press began as a simple idea: the kind of publisher I always wanted to read from—stuck in 1985, unafraid of the whimsical and surreal. This fall I’m launching my first zine, Echoes of Rylomi. Indie publishing isn't just about stories; it's about better living through fiction. Stay tuned…
