The Rise of Double Feature Press

Another intriguing player has recently entered the arena of small press horror publishing. Double Feature Press is hoping to resurrect the two tale horror package which haunted the screens of America's theaters in a bygone age, but this time in print rather than film. Or as the publisher states in its self-portrait:

Welcome to Double Feature Press. We are a small press formed by Sarah L. Covert in October of 2010. Sarah grew up on drive-in movies. That is where her love for Science Fiction, Strange Tales, and Horror was born. Double Feature Press has an interesting concept, based around the old double feature drive-in flicks. Each book has two authors. Each author contributes either short stories, poems, or novellas to make up their half of the book. The books will all be in the genres Sarah loved as a child and loves even more now. They will be limited edition runs. Our first book is due out in 2011.

Their debut book suggests that a decidedly weird horror course has been set for the press. The Untold Tales of Ozman Droom by Robin Spriggs and Night Begets by Joseph S. Pulver are set to be the first nightmarish duo paired together. Anyone familiar with Spriggs and Pulver will instantly recognize the dark, weirdly supernatural, and sometimes Lovecraftian flavor coursing through both these writers' works. Hopefully, this development will also serve as an atmospheric omen for further releases by Double Feature.
