About Us

Dark Recesses Press began in 2005 with an idea and desire to create a home where there was none.

It was originally an award winning fiction magazine of dark fiction, art, and non-fiction.  After 13 issues we took some time off to regroup, shift our focus, and come back to publish books exclusively – this was in 2014.

In 2017, we grew again.  After the acquisition of Belfire Press, DR had taken on a wider dark fiction arena which has opened up avenues towards YA, and Poetry among others.  In addition to focusing our attention on novels, collections and anthologies born in the dark corners of your mind, Dark Recesses Press has now resurrected the beloved magazine.

We are currently undergoing a growth spurt so please mind our gangly bits.
