About the press
Lanternfish Press, founded in Philadelphia in 2014, publishes literature of the rare and strange: fiction that crosses the boundary between literary and speculative; real or imagined tales of characters at the margins of history; essays rooted in a strong sense of place. Lanternfish Press also publishes Clockwork Editions, a cabinet of curious Victorian reprints.
