The Surrey girls came marching in
The goddess smiles upon us today and allows us to release Jane, by P.F. Jeffery, the first in a projected twelve novels in the Warriors of Love series. We are also most blessed in the wraparound art from Nimit Malavia, which forms Jane’s magnificent cover. As a standalone coming-of-age tale in a future world of [...]
Pain and fear are the spices that make you cry
Boasting wraparound art from Jessica Fortner, our first release of 2013 is Onion Songs, by Steve Rasnic Tem, a career-spanning collection of 42 short stories, representing over 30 years of work and surely consolidating Tem’s reputation as a writer of impressive scope and vision. The stories collected in this volume showcase the off-beat and experimental [...]

TV chefs with their posturing books might beat a few eggs but can’t beat notorious cooks
Now we bring our 2012 schedule to a close with the compendious tour of culinary history and legend, Lives of Notorious Cooks, by Brendan Connell.

For the adwentoursomme…

Set in Literaturnaya typeface, with a matte laminate jacket and back and front cover art from Christopher Conn Askew, Crandolin is a dizzyingly tall tale of mediaeval cookbooks, heraldic beasts, time [...]
Enter the human labyrinth
October is upon us. It’s time to walk bleak city streets, with our coat collars turned up against the chill and gritty wind, to find the yellow-lit window of a barely inhabited cafe, somehow dazzling in the soft blue of the evening, to step inside, remove one’s gloves, order a coffee (or similar beverage) and [...]
Back from Brighton and prize draw results
Last weekend, Chômu Press were present in Brighton for FantasyCon 2012 – thank you to all those who stopped by the stall in the dealers’ room and bought books.

She was just seventeen…
Never been a beauty queen. But she was a magical teenage princess. Chômu’s seventeenth publication – officially released today – appropriately enough, is I Am a Magical Teenage Princess by Luke Geddes. We have been fortunate enough to work on this occasion with design megastar Rian Hughes, who has blessed us with a remarkably winsome-yet-wicked [...]
