All serious fiction deals to some extent with dark themes and many great works of literature have employed supernatural, surreal or existentialist elements. These books have power. They endure because they appeal to serious readers and provide thoughtful entertainment. On the current publishing scene, however, dark novels of distinction often find themselves unwelcome … and uninvited. UNINVITED BOOKS is an independent press dedicated to celebrating literary distinction in dark fiction.
