Darkly Bright Press is a small, independent book publisher with a focus on Uncommon Literature & Liturgical Christianity. Inspired by Welsh writer Arthur Machen’s emphasis on ecstasy in literature, our mission is to curate and spotlight such works by past voices and provide a platform for new authors, poets and artists.

Other recent works include:
Le Pays de l’Amour-Propre
Haunted by Virtue
Christopher
To Write A Poem Like Baudelaire
Terms of Venery for Solitary Birds
The Rabbit Creation Myth
Old Tom Has Some Work To Do
Also, now is the perfect time to catch up Sturgill’s epic Fairy Tale: Awake the World of Dreams, Part 1-5. The Conclusion draws nigh.
