Infernal House
Infernal House’s first project announced!
For those yet unaware Delirium Books and Bloodletting Press have joined forces to form a new press called Infernal House which is set to produce so of the highest quality limited editions on the market. This is a side project for both myself and Larry Roberts at BLP, and is only set up to produce 2-3 titles per year.
Here’s a little more information about the press:
Infernal House is a specialty publisher focusing on producing obscure first edition hardcovers bound with the finest materials. These rare books are hand-bound, finely crafted and created as works of art.
The publishing house was created by Larry Roberts of Bloodletting Press and Shane Ryan Staley of Delirium Books. Together, they have more than 40 years of experience in publishing and designing books for collectors.
When you hold an Infernal House production, it’s not only a gem of a story inside, but a treasure on the outside as well.
Infernal House is committed to producing the finest books in the world. Our intention with this press is to create the highest quality books the world has ever seen. We have a renowned, world class master book binder on staff to hand craft and bind each book individually. We will be using the most exotic materials in our bindings; everything from the finest silks to the most exotic skins, including ostrich, lizard, Moroccan, stingray etc. Each book from Infernal House will be in extremely low print runs (174 limited and 26 deluxe copies). Each Infernal House title will be written by today’s top authors and lavishly illustrated by the most respected artists.
These books are designed first and foremost with the collector in mind. These will be sought after for their beauty, collectible-nature and unmatched quality, not only within the horror genre but by bibliophiles everywhere.
Each Deluxe edition will come with a custom made slipcase and each lettered edition will come with a custom made traycase. Each book will be hand-signed by the author if living and contributors when appropriate. All books will be hand-numbered and lettered.
Customers’ number or letter will be determined on a first come, first served basis. Once your book is purchased and you are assigned a number and or letter you will also have first rights to that number on the next Infernal House title.
Given the extreme limitation of of each book’s print run, we require full payment at the time of order.
Here’s a little more about this first Infernal House project:
