Delirium Books, established in January 1999 by Shane Ryan Staley, is one of the leading specialty presses in the horror genre. Publishing limited edition hardcovers, Delirium Books seeks to bring forth some of the world’s greatest authors in the small press, and display their talents in a collectible fashion. Delirium’s main objective is to provide, both collectors and readers alike, a high quality, durable limited edition hardcover that will last lifetimes. Delirium’s pledge is to offer the book buying community both excellent quality in printing and binding of the books offered. Delirium continues to grow and is now recognized as the premier horror publisher for the collector’s market, producing low print run limited editions that continue to increase in value, sometimes reaching hundreds and even thousands per title on the secondary market. In 2005, Delirium Books won the prestigious Bram Stoker Award for Excellence in Specialty Press Publishing. This was presented to Delirium Books by the HWA (Horror Writer’s Association). The same year, Delirium took home the first annual Shocker Award for Small Press of the Year. This award was presented by Shocklines.com, one of the biggest independent horror booksellers in the U.S. In the Fall of 2006, Delirium Books revamped its editorial presence as Shane Ryan Staley appointed an Associate Editor (Greg F. Gifune) and an Assistant Editor (David Marty) to his staff. Looking ahead, favorite Delirium authors of the past have signed on for future books and exciting new talents have joined the cast of authors to make the coming years ones to watch. Delirium is truly publishing the future of horror today.
