Lucky Titan Publishing

A small literary imprint, deliberately narrow.

Lucky Titan Publishing is the imprint behind the literary fiction of pen-name author Lucky Titan. The press publishes contemporary literary novels in the institutional-gothic register — work that examines power, inheritance, ritual, and the architectures by which a private system becomes public law.

The Imprint

Adult literary fiction.

The imprint publishes for adult readers. Its work is contemporary literary fiction with explicit content and unflinching examination of institutional and intimate violence. It is not for every reader. Content warnings appear on each book's page.

The imprint's first major release is The Judge's Feet, the opening volume of The Bad Apples Series. Publication date will be announced through the Lucky Titan Publishing newsletter.
