About the press

Quill & Crow Publishing House is an independent press founded with a commitment to dark, atmospheric, and gothic literature. Since its inception, it has carved a niche for itself by championing voices that explore the macabre, the mysterious, and the beautifully unsettling. The press operates with a clear mission: to publish works that linger in the shadows of the reader's mind, prioritizing mood, craftsmanship, and narrative depth over fleeting trends. Its catalogue reflects a curatorial eye for the eerie and the elegant, often blending classic gothic sensibilities with contemporary sensibilities.

Publishing focus

Quill & Crow Publishing House is an independent press that publishes dark fiction and nonfiction titles. Celebrating all things Gothic and macabre, they strive to preserve the integrity of independent literature and lift voices often unheard.
