Rookhouse Books — Books to Crow About
Rookhouse is a small press publisher located on the forested headlands of the beautiful Oregon coast and surrounded night and day by an annoying flock of noisy cawing crows.
We specialize in publishing offbeat takes on genre fiction. Alternate histories with metaphysical elements, metafictional deconstructions of metafictional deconstructions, tongue-in-cheek romps, and rollicking throwbacks to the old pulp adventure era are part of our stock in trade.
Remember: when you see the Rookhouse crow on the cover, the inside's definitely "caw-caw!"
Wait…did we just say that?
