WHERE TO FIND THE SCIENCE-FANTASY PUBLISHERS

Current URLS

The old Horrornet site has been taken over by Bereshith and is now being revamped part by part. Some of it is still stuck in the Nineties, but others, notably the Pelan imprints, are beginning to show up in new form. Check it regularly. We aren't sure the new format is an improvement (it's not even clear if or where the publisher links will be). If you know of any we missed or more up to date URLs for ones currently down, please email us. Last checked 6/9/2004. LINK TO US, TOO! You have our enthusiastic permission.

HOAX NOTE: Mike Walsh discovered this absolutely brilliant hoax site that you have to see to believe: http://home.earthlink.net/~mchabon/vanzorn.html. Admire it, but don't believe it.

• ABCDE: http://www.starmanseries.com. You have to go here and see these to believe them. Absolutely unique.
• Advent: Publishers: web order fulfillment currently being handled by NESFA Press; catalog at the following URL: http://www.nesfa.org/press/books/Advent/index.html Note slight change in URL. The do still deal direct but not via the web. They stock the latest Advents via the site but haven't updated it to include the last one.
• Alchemy Press: http://www.alchemypress.demon.co.uk/ Back up but nothing new so far.
• American Fantasy: http://www.american-fantasy.com Robert Garcia's web site for his books and books he's designing for others as well. And he's designing for a lot of SF small presses these days.
• Arkham House: http://www.arkhamhouse.com A really good web site, with online secure ordering. Now undergoing revision but still up, parts under construction.
• Ash-Tree Press: http://www.ash-tree.bc.ca/ashtreecurrent.html Ash-Tree publishes so many titles you may miss one or more if you don't check here often. Note change in URL. Newly redesigned, very easy to use.
• Bedlam Press: http://necropublications.com This is a sub-imprint of Necro and is reached via it..
• Bershith Publishing: http://www.bereshith.com Up and running in its new design; specific to its own imprints. Also is reviving the Horrornet.com site, but that is very different in content. It's also much harder to read.
• Bloodletting Press: www.BloodlettingPress.com Lots of hard core horror on the way. Take a look. Ambitious yet familiar, somehow.
• Borderlands Press: http://www.horrornet.com/borderlands.htm. New front end, but nothing beyond it so far. We'll see. Definitely now intends to be on the new Horrornet, but there really aren't many publisher links there yet.
• British Fantasy Society: http://www.britishfantasysociety.org.uk Back up in a new place. Online store now takes credit cards.
• British Science Fiction Society: http://www.bsfa.co.uk Don't confuse with BFS above. Nice site.
• Calabash Press: http://www.ash-tree.bc.ca/calabash.html Ash-Tree's mystery imprint.
• Cambrian Publications: http://www.cambrianpubs.com/ Informative site.
• Camelot Books: http://www.cambrianpubs.com/ Does a few items itself, a great source for the smaller and lesser known imprints.
• Centipede Press: http://www.centipedepress.com/home.html Great looking site, but check your credit limit and get in line now.
• CD Publications: http://www.cemeterydance.com. Nice site, but you can get lost in it.
• Challcrest Books: via the following: http://www.challengepress.com/ Wow. A mere 2000 copy edition at $100....
• Charnel House: http://charnelhouse.com. Back, but no changes. Site hasn't been updated this year.
• Cocytuspress: www.cocytuspress.com This one must be looked at to be believed. The site's not intuitive–there are more pages than are obvious–but you will get a very good idea of what the heck is in this book and what it looks like. Note: the limited's a mere $2495. Get in line now....
• Dark Highways: http://www.frii.com/~bovberg/DHPress.htm Looks nice, but nothing new.
• Dark Regions Press: http://www.darkregions.150m.com/ Flashy, but hard to find individual things.
• Darkside Press: http://www.darksidepress.com Back up and comprehensive.
• Delirium Books: http://www.deliriumbooks.com. Showy pages, but watch yourself or you'll be hit by flying Javascript ads for the designers, for the host's chat room, etc.
• DreamHaven Books & Comics: http://www.dreamhavenbooks.com Info on their imprint, but you should write or call them and get on their list of printed monthly catalogs of all new SF/F.
• Endeavor Press: http://www.endeavorpress.net/ Good site for this new Maryland press, but if you're easily offended watch that first title!
• Earthling Publications: http://www.earthlingpub.com/ New press, lots of ambition, some fancy editions. Take a look.
• Edge Science Fiction & Fantasy Publishing: http://www.edgewebsite.com Even has a soundtrack.
• Edition Phantasia: http://www.edition-phantasia.de/. German small press that fits in every way and remains active. The web pages are informative; most are in German but the basics are also given on two English pages.
• Fedogan & Bremer: see their listings under http://www.arkhamhouse.com. One section is, essentially, the F&B web site. F&B deals direct, but uses AH for their web commerce.
• Gauntlet Press: http://www.gauntletpress.com Brand new revamp expands features and makes this site much easier to navigate—but only if you can see the blue black text on black backgrounds. Lists books not in its own announcements and doesn't list some titles in its printed catalog as imminent, so....
• Golden Gryphon Press: http://www.goldengryphon.com. Nice site for browsing, but no secure ordering. The details and layout of the site, however, continue to improve and are almost a lesson for others. All it needs is a secure credit card order system.
• Donald M. Grant: http://www.grantbooks.com Comprehensive but can be confusing. Newly redesigned and updated, but you'd swear it wasn't a Grant site at all. Recently updated, but as confusing as ever to find what you need. Still, it's the best place to insure you get the new titles.
• Guidry & Adkins, Publishers: http://www.sstar.com/treasure/tarzana.htm New publisher just brought out its first book, but both of these folks have been seen in specialty SF publishing before.
• Haffner Press: http://www.haffnerpress.com/ Not much of a site at the moment but it's at least up.
• The Haunted River: http://www.hauntedriver.co.uk/ Nice site, lots of articles and commentary as well as a thorough look at the titles.
• Hippocampus Press: http://www.hippocampuspress.com Nice site, online secure ordering, remembers that it's selling books and gives you access to all titles with good pictures and descriptions.
• IFD Publishing: http://www.ifdpublishing.com Nice site, with secure ordering available. You can also order non-imprint Clark projects past and present and print sets..
• Medusa Press: http://www.medusapress.com/ Nice site, displays and describes its few titles well, but no online ordering.
• Meisha Merlin: http://www.MeishaMerlin.com/ Becoming a major small press complete with super limiteds at super prices and mixed hardcovers and trade paperbacks. We are behind on the biblio for this title so check it.
• Dennis McMillan: http://www.dennismcmillan.com/ Very ambitious of late, and quite successful, although not as close to our field as it used to be.
• Midnight House: http://www.darksidepress.commidnight.html Back up under this new proprietary URL.
• The Ministry of Whimsey: http://www.nightshadebooks.com Now an imprint of Nightshade Books and while still a separate imprint it's hard sometime to even figure out which is which on the site.
• Mirage Press, Ltd.: http://www.miragepress.com You're already here but what the heck.
• Moshassuck Press: http://homepage.interaccess.com/~moshasuk/moshassuck.html This site is basic text but it's the only way to keep up with these minute runs.
• Mycroft & Moran: http://www.charlesmckeebooks.com/~silicon/batsq.htm The new Canadian version, part of the Vanderburgh Battered Silicon Dispatch box empire but a separate imprint. Thanks to book dealer McKee this imprint and the parent now have a series of web pages.
• Necro Publications: http://necropublications.com Flashy and more informative.
• Necronomicon Press: http://www.necropress.com/ Hasn't done much except the magazines since the death of the father of the man running the press, but still active.
• NESFA Press: http://www.nesfa.org/press/ Very good site, with comprehensive info.
• Nightshade Books: http://www.nightshadebooks.com Don't just type "Nightshade" or you will find yourself not in small press land but in the very adult Orient. Otherwise, nice, comprehensive site.
• Nitrosyncretic Press: http://www.Nitrosyncretic.com We provide this link so you won't have to remember how to spell it.
• Obsidian Books: http://www.mmpbooks.com/forthcoming.html Brand new URL for this press, now paired with but still separated in a number of ways from Sideshow Press (see below).
• Old Earth Books: http://www.oldearthbooks.com/ A little disorganized, but comprehensive on its titles if you can get past that crowded and ugly first page.
• Overlook Connection Press: http://www.overlookconnection.com Catalog of the bookselling operation; nice looking but you'll have to hunt to find OCP's own titles!
• Padwolf Publishing: http://www.padwolf.com We are way behind on coverage of this imprint so check it.
• Pandora Books: http://www.pandora.ca. New URL. Nothing new in years but a good source for OP books.
• Pequod Press http://www.hostigos.com Good site, shows the books, takes PayPal.
• Prime Books: http://www.primebooks.net No, it's not the return of Prime Press, but it's a POD publisher in the process of going traditional and growing increasingly ambitious. Yet another new imprint, but this one has a fair number of titles already out.
• PS Publishing: http://www.pspublishing.co.uk/ Britain's most active SF specialty publisher. Excellent site for all those titles.
• Rainfall Books: http://www.81x.com/rainfall/Rainfall Mostly covers, and you have to order elsewhere, but if you can find this strange URL you can find this pretty good British small press.
• James A. Rock: http://www.senseofwonderpress.com/ Yes, he's back (or never left). This link covers all his imprints.
• Sarob Press: http://home.freeuk.net/sarobpress With only 250 copy editions this is one web site anyone interested in Sarob's ghost and horror stories should keep an eye on.
• Science Fiction Book Club (US SFBC): http://www.sfbc.com
• Science Fiction Research Organization, Inc. (SFRA): http://www.sfra.org
• Sense of Wonder Press: http://www.senseofwonderpress.com/ James A. Rock's imprint, also covers his namesake and other non genre imprints.
• Shadow Publishing: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/davesandra/index.html. David Sutton's new press shouldn't be confused with the other Shadow Publishing, also established in Britain in 2001. Use this URL, not necessarily the one you might find in Google.
• Shocklines Press: http://shop.store.yahoo.com/shocklines/shpr.html Yeah, it's a Yahoo vendor, but it does publish some items you can only get directly from it, and it also carries and lists just about every active SF specialty publisher out there except perhaps the biggies. A great source for the very small and short runs.
• Sideshow Press: http://www.mmpbooks.com/sideshowpress.html Michael Matthews Press site, also covers Obsidian (see above). In spite of recent problems, site is still up when we last checked.
• Silver Leaf Books: http://www.silverleafbooks.com Nice site, but only if you want the series.
• Silver Salamander Press: http://www.darksidepress.com Back up as part of the new unified Pelan URL.
• Sirius: http://www.siriusfiction.com This small house, primarily doing nonfiction chapbooks, continues and now has a unique URL for itself. Note URL change!
• Subterranean Press: http://www.subterraneanpress.com Nice site, but you can get lost; online ordering is secure with your credit card welcome.
• Tachyon Publications: http://www.tachyonpublications.com Hard to tell if this isn't becoming a subsidiary of North Atlantic Press. Undergoing revision in June, but nothing new yet.
• Tartarus Press: http://homepages.pavilion.co.uk/users/tartarus Updated regularly. Brand new look and navigation, same detail.
• Taylor-Madison Books: http://www.taylor-madison.com/ Want a sword, a tee-shirt with a sword, or a book called "Merlin?" Then go here and enjoy the classical music score, too.
• Temporary Culture: http://www.avramdavidson.org/ Henry Wessel's site is mostly devited to Avram Davidson, as might be obvious, but sometimes not, and the editions are tiny.
• Transylvania Press: http://www.transylvania.com/ Actually updated with new forthcoming stuff, but we'll believe that bibliography will appear when we see it. Newly redesigned. No new titles but they even have a toll free order number!
• Underwood Books: http://www.underwoodbooks.com/ Art books mostly, with some others, but worth the look.
• Wandering Star: http://www.wanderingplanet.com/ Apparently Wandering Star was taken as a URL.... This one is another one with an occasional sound track. Newly updated in June.
• Wildside Press: http://www.wildsidepress.com/ Gone entirely to Print on Demand; you can order its thousands of such titles off the site, as well as unrelated clip art, but don't expect to browse here—you better know what you're looking for. Infrequent but valuable email catalogs and bulletins are much better (sign up at their URL).
• Wormhole Books: http://www.wormholebooks.com/ The new Ed Bryant project that intends a book a month. Worth a look just to keep up with them.
• Mark V. Ziesing: http://www.ziesingbooks.com/ Basically an online version of the catalog that's pretty much become his catalog. Ziesing hasn't published anything in a couple of years now. His site's been revamped, but our IE6 had problems when we accessed it, and we mean of the instability sort, so watch out for a while.
