Sometime over the summer, we hit a big sales milestone and somehow, I missed it. It's been busy. We sold our first book in the summer of 2022. We sold our 50,000th book sometime in the summer of 2025. Here's to 50,000 more! Huge thanks to our authors, artists and especially, our readers.

Super fun day with Eric LaRocca, Hailey Piper and Delilah S. Dawson, chatting up transgressive horror at New York Comic, then signing books for folks. Thanks to @titanbooks.bsky.social for making it possible, @bnunionsqnyc.bsky.social for supplying the books, and to everyone who came out to hear us.

You are likely correct. They seem to be sticking to similar key messages.

One of the highlights of my year was when @forbes.com

Note: due to heavy demand, we opened up more print copies since this published, so the line about physical copies being sold out is no longer accurate.

Writer Benjamin Percy Partners with Stephen King for Serialized Novel

'The End Times' takes the form a weekly newspaper printed 12 years after humanity was nearly wiped out by a lethal plague.

You know...for folks who aren't renowned for their literacy, MAGA folks over on Facebook sure have a lot of opinions about what people should be reading. Anyway, you can still pre-order THE END TIMES by Benjamin Percy with Stephen King.
