Gothic Press

Gothic Press was founded in 1979 by Gary William Crawford to publish books and periodicals in the field of Gothic literature. In the years 1979 to 1987 the press produced six issues of the journal GOTHIC, which featured articles on the Gothic from the eighteenth century to modern horror. Subsequently, the press published THE HORROR FICTION NEWSLETTER and the horror poetry magazine NIGHT SONGS. In recent years, the press has published THE GOTHIC CHAPBOOK SERIES, which features fiction, poetry, and literary scholarship and criticism. New from the press is Philip Challinor's AKIN TO POETRY: OBSERVATIONS ON SOME STRANGE TALES OF ROBERT AICKMAN. In preparation is a collection of essays on RAMSEY CAMPBELL edited by Phillip A. Ellis. Also available from the press are free online databases for J. Sheridan Le Fanu, Fritz Leiber, Ramsey Campbell, Walter de la Mare, and Robert Aickman studies. In May of 2006, Crawford began the online journal LE FANU STUDIES.
