‘Forthcoming’ catalogue expanded

Chômu Press is pleased to announce the forthcoming publications of some of the best authors currently writing in the English language. Please see the Chômu Press ‘Our Books‘ section for details.

I Wonder What Human Flesh Tastes Like is the debut collection from Justin Isis, and will be a defining publication for Chômu Press, setting much of our aesthetic agenda. One of the sharpest and most original debuts you’re likely to read this century.

If you thought that nothing more could be done with the vampire myth, Reggie Oliver’s The Dracula Papers is the book to change your mind. Can a book include high adventure, occult philosophy, whimsical and bawdy humour, the macabre and the pensive all in one arras of harmonious fabric? Apparently so.

Revenants is another debut, this time a novel from Daniel Mills. This story of grim secrets and hell-fire repression brings Puritan New England to life so naturally it’s like reading your own memories, displaced to another era. A sombre and delicate prose-poem of a novel.

From Brendan Connell, The Life of Polycrates and Other Stories for Antiquated Children is a dazzlingly cosmopolitan collection of short fiction, ranging across the ages and cultures of Earth, uncovering the obsessions that define the lives of the legendary and the obscure. A feast of bizarre delicacies.

We believe that these works mark a highly auspicious beginning to the Chômu Press, but there is still much more to come.

Please watch out for further announcements.
