the undertaking
GRAVE EMPIRE has no time or patience for the established norms of horror publishing. Cultish and uncompromising, this independent press champions disturbing horror fiction with an emphasis on craft excellence and artistic fearlessness.
GRAVE EMPIRE will excavate the darkness at the heart of polite society and individual consciousness with works that are transgressive, literary yet accessible, and truly scary. This press does not aim to “transcend” or “elevate” the horror genre, but to become its apotheosis.
Welcome to GRAVE EMPIRE.
