Night Shade Books is dedicated to publishing quality books from a broad spectrum of genres. Writing which inspires a sense of awe and wonder. Writing that explores the fantastic. Writing that at once challenges and redefines a reader’s expectations. These are the guiding editorial principals at Night Shade.

The mission of the Speculative Literature Foundation is “to promote literary quality in speculative fiction, by encouraging promising new writers, assisting established writers, facilitating the work of quality magazines and small presses in the genre, and developing a greater public appreciation of speculative fiction.”
