Mercury Retrograde Press publishes fantasy, science fiction, and the unclassifiable: fiction that propels the reader through unknown territories in this world and others unlike it. Here you will find complex characters and compelling stories: an alchemical blend of the sense of wonder we all crave with the hard edges and tough questions that thinking readers need.
We are a small press dedicated to unconventional authors and works that might undeservedly slip through the cracks at bigger houses, and to developing stories and artists that matter to us--one at a time. Fantasy with a psychological edge and character driven science fiction are specialties of the house.
