In sad news, premium genre publisher Subterranean Press is to cease operations in 2027.
Founded in 1995 by William Schafer and Tim Holt, the press is based in Burton, Michigan. The press publishes science fiction, fantasy, horror and some mystery. The press was noted for being an early adopter of the luxury/limited print book format, publishing, among others, George R.R. Martin, Scott Lynch, Joe Abercrombie, Arkady Martine, Joe Hill and Robin Hobb. Arguably Subterranean Press's success helped pave the way for the likes of Broken Binding.
According to the press release, Subterranean will continue fulfilling its 2026 and 2027 release schedule, but will terminate operations in late 2027 or early 2028 depending on the schedule being hit. Some ongoing projects will be transferred to other publishers with plans to coordinate art and design to ensure a consistency of appearance with new publishers.
Subterranean Press were due to publish three novellas by Scott Lynch in the near future to act as a prelude to his novel The Thorn of Emberlain. It is unclear how this project will be impacted.
Subterranean Press produced many beautiful editions of classic genre novels over the years, getting ahead of the rest of the game. They will be missed.
