The End of Gothic Chapbook Reproductions

Zittaw Press sadly announces the end of the series of Gothic chapbook reproductions. For almost four years we have thoroughly enjoyed make reproductions of these rare tales of terror, but as interest in these little productions has waned, we must face reality and cease production. As of February 1st these handmade chapbooks will no longer be made.

There is no doubt that these tales of terror, though, are an important aspect of literary history and Zittaw Press is committed to ensuring that these chapbooks are preserved. Consequently we are looking into offering some of the titles as ebooks available for downloading, as well as the possibility of anthologies or collections, but at this time we are looking into all options.

We have appreciated all your support, patronage and insights. Zittaw Press will continue to publish rare 18th and 19th century Gothic fiction and hope to enable scholars and students of the Gothic access to these rare texts.

Best,
Franz and Serena Potter
