Finding a 1000 people for Zittaw Press


My name is Franz Potter and I am the proprietor of Zittaw Press. For the last eight years we have sought to keep the Gothic flame alive by reprinting rare Gothic chapbooks and novels from the late 18th and early 19th centuries including Curt Herr's tremendous scholarly edition of Varney the VampireIn 2010 we established an online peer reviewed journal, Studies in Gothic Fiction with an internationally recognized Editorial Board. Notwithstanding these achievements it has never been easy to thrive in a niche market as a micro publisher and it is now more difficult then ever. 


To move Zittaw Press from a micro press to a small press we need your help. We need ONE Thousand people to buy TWO of our 19th century chapbook reproductions by June 1st. That is all! For a only $13.00 you will receive two hand stitched short tales of Romance, Terror and Horror which not only encapsulates the spirit of the Gothic genre, but represents the sheer brilliance of the short tale of terror. 


We currently have five chapbooks available:
Sarah Wilkinson's Albert of Werdendorff; or, Midnight Embrace (1803) 
Sarah Wilkinson's The Subterraneous Passage; or, Gothic Cell (1803) 
Sarah Wilkinson's The Chateau de Montville; or, The Golden Cross (1803)
Sarah Wilkinson's The Spectres; or, Lord Oswald and Lady Rosa (n.d.)
Anonymous Black Forest; or, The Cavern of Death (1802) 
Each chapbook is hand stitched and only $6.50 with free shipping.

Even if you don't read books, I am asking you to please purchase at least two chapbooks to help Zittaw Press as be push towards the future.

Thank you for your support.
