Eraserhead Press was established in 1999. They have a specialized niche, they know their readership and they connect with them. Bizarro fiction isn’t for everyone, I’m not a big fan, but readers that love it, really love it. Review their catalog to get a better feel for what they publish. They’ve published many authors multiple times, which is always a good sign.
They publish novellas and novels that are between 20,000 and 100,000 words in length. They are looking for darkly absurd books that balance plot and character and have a strong emotional core. They do not want authors to experiment with form.
Their covers are well designed and reflect the genre well.
