About us
“I have rather particular tastes. Fortunately, so do the people making My books.” – The Eldritch King
Eldritch King comes from the team behind fine-press publisher Curious King. We bring our extensive experience in art direction, materials and book design to bear on a subscription devoted to horror and dark fiction at an incredible price point.
The idea is simple: exceptional horror deserves exceptional craftsmanship.
Each one of our books is completely redesigned from the inside out. These are stories that linger, disturb and demand to be read again. Their editions should reward that return, with details worth discovering every time you take them from the shelf.
The dustjacket offers your first glimpse of its world. The endpapers draw you further in. The typography, paper and binding shape the experience of reading it. The crisp, precision-printed edges make it stand out, whichever way you choose to display it. We love these books, so we agonise over the details. Each choice should belong to the story.
Our list brings together iconic novels, cult favourites and unsettling classics. Some will be familiar. Others may be waiting to introduce themselves. All receive the same care and attention, from a team that loves the titles we work on.
Through a subscription delivering one special edition every two months, Eldritch King invites you to build a collection of extraordinary horror and dark fiction.
Do make room on your shelves. I intend to become a habit.
