  About Tartarus Press

  We are a small, independent publishing house, specialising in interesting fiction from the past and present. Our titles cross various genres and are often of an unusual nature, which means that they may have been overlooked by mainstream publishers. All evoke a sense of wonder or the supernatural in beautiful, exciting prose.

  We aim for the highest literary standards and production values. Ebooks is a new venture for us… Many of our traditional hardback book are appreciating collectors’ items, valued for their beauty and rarity. Our limited edition hardback books are printed lithographically, bound in sewn sections, and we specify high quality acid-free paper. Most titles have original dust jacket artwork and many have decorated, embossed boards.
