Gothic Press was founded in 1979 by Gary William Crawford to publish books and periodicals in the field of Gothic literature. In the years 1979 to 1987 the press produced six issues of the journal GOTHIC, which featured articles on the Gothic from the eighteenth century to modern horror. Subsequently, the press published The Horror Fiction Newsletter and the horror poetry magazine Night Songs. In recent years, the press has published The Gothic Chapbook Series, which features fiction, poetry, and literary scholarship and criticism. New from the press is Black Prometheus: A Critical Study Of Karl Edward Wagner edited by Benjamin Szumskyj. Forthcoming in October 2007 is David Sutton's chapbook novella The Fisherman. Also available from the press are free online databases for J. Sheridan Le Fanu, Fritz Leiber, and Ramsey Campbell studies. In May of 2006, Crawford began the online journal Le Fanu Studies.
