Welcome

Dead Letter Press

Publisher of ultra-limited edition chapbooks for people who enjoy classic tales of dark fantasy.

"Limited but highly affordable, Tom English's lovingly (and ghoulishly) handcrafted 'Classic Vampires Revisited' chapbook series should delight both horror fans and discriminating aficionados alike. Resurrecting classic and undeservedly overlooked vampire tales published before and after Stoker’s Dracula, it is fast becoming the indispensable ongoing literary 'history' of Nosferatu and his heirs. As such, it’s not to be missed!".-- Joseph Wrzos, editor of August Derleth's In Lovecraft's Shadow and co-editor of Night Creatures, a collection of Seabury Quinn's classic weird tales.."I've been looking at the series with great pleasure. You are to be congratulated on your choice of rare material, stylish presentation and excellent printing. More power to your publishing arm!".-- Peter Haining, co-author of The Un-Dead: the Legend of Bram Stoker and Dracula and editor of The Vampire Hunters' Casebook

24�May 2007 UPDATE: Advance praise for BLOOD COVEN, the new horror novella by Angeline Hawkes and Christopher Fulbright:

.��

"BLOOD COVEN is a grand, ghoulish tale of vampires and vampire hunters set in the seedy underground world of late 19th century England. It's an action packed ride as good battles evil and fangs fight knives in a last-man-standing free-for-all between the brood of an ancient vampire queen and the deadliest vampire killer in all London. Lots of fun for those with a taste for bloody adventure. My only complaint was that the story ended too quickly!"�
