- Tartarus is a small, British independent press
founded in 1990. We specialise in collectable hardback limited editions
of literary supernatural/strange/horror fiction, and we also publish
paperbacks and ebooks.We have been the recipient of three World Fantasy
Awards, and in 2010 received a "Stoker" from the Horror Writers
Association.
"When first encountered, the publications of
Tartarus Press seem almost as numinous as the supernatural tales they
contain. The simple elegance of their presentation. . . jacketed in
uniform cream covers with only minimal decoration, recall an earlier
age when books were as rare and treasured as jewels.
These are not
commodities to be piled high on three-for-two tables, but rarities
which remain hidden unless sought out . . . The stories hoarded in
their pages are so little known you might be forgiven for wondering if
you have dreamed them.
The Triumph of
Night and Other Tales by Edith Wharton. The
Supernatural Tales
of H.G. Wells. The
Lost Poetry
of William Hope Hodgson. And
dozens of other titles by authors both famous and obscure which taken
as a whole form a secret library, a catalogue of weird fiction from
its roots in Victorian Britain through to the modern day." -- Damien
