- 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 G. Walter,
The Guardian
