The fashion industry is the kookiest contender in the futurist camp, but it belongs there. From the thousand-yard stare of runway models to the lament of “that’s so last season,” the discourse is always intent upon the horizon. It’s no cosmic coincidence that a serious sci fi, fantasy and comic slant dominates designer n...
Two of our ebook releases—our latest, Mr. Stranger’s Sealed Packet, and our premiere, A Plunge into Space, took us to Mars long before we had any idea of what it looked like. When we finally got the red planet to pose for a picture with the Mariner 4 probe (1965) and the landing of Viking I (1976), the results were neither the canals o...
If you're on the East Coast, you know it looks like it's going to rain all through Memorial Day weekend. If you're somewhere else, it's...probably still going to rain, because such is the ineffable humor of the universe. But fear not! We have you covered.
What better way to spend a gloomy three day weekend than with classic, vintage, rare scifi--all available in super-convenient eBook form? Check out our recent releases and load yourself up with the best scifi from days gone by. The future, as dreamed up by the past, available in the now. (Pretty cool, huh?)
Here's just a taste of what's available.
THE TORCH
Set in a post-apocalyptic New York City long since ravaged by an ancient atomic war, The Torch is a future history of a western civilization after its descent into a new Dark Age.
A PLUNGE INTO SPACE
First printed in 1890, with the only forward ever written by Jules Verne, this seminal scientific romance tells of Henry Barnett and his trusty team of adventurers, who set off to explore Mars-- and then return to an Earth marred by a very modern twist.

A lot has happened in the few weeks since our last release, not the least of which was the opening of our physical bookshop at 18 Bridge St., Brooklyn, NY. If you missed the stories on Ars Technica, Engadget, BoingBoing, or about a dozen other places, then let us be the first to tell you that the opening was a great success. We're there (at least) noon to seven, Wednesday to Sunday, and we'd love to see each and every one of you stop by.
