Welcome to Double Feature Press. We are a small press formed by Sarah L. Covert in October of 2010. Sarah grew up on drive-in movies. That is where her love for Science Fiction, Strange Tales, and Horror was born. Double Feature Press has an interesting concept, based around the old double feature drive-in flicks. Each book has two authors. Each author contributes short stories, poems, or novellas to make up their half of the book. The books will all be in the genres Sarah loved as a child and loves even more now. They will be limited edition runs. Our first book is due out early in 2012. We are not open for submissions at this time, but that will change - so keep checking back!

Supporter Marc Nocerino says: "I'm glad to be involved. This seems like such a great idea to me that it would almost be irresponsible if I didn't help out in any way I could."

Supporter Garrett Cook says: "We need intelligent horror and neopulp markets like this."

Supporter Ted E. Grau III says: "Media moguls and corporate conglomerates have changed how we access the written word, and have muddied the content to the point where appealing to the lowest common denominator trumps quality of writing. A "Hollywoodization" of publishing, as it were, where books have become barely glorified widgets, sold by greedhead MBA's, not truly literate fans of literature.

Sarah Covert and Double Feature Press couldn't have come at a better time, as a DIY spirit in publishing and the other arts has dovetailed with a decided uptick in exceptional horror and fantasy writers bleeding it all out on the printed page. Barker and King have had their day. Now, a new class of Young Turks is barking at the gate. Double Feature Press is letting them in.

I and my wife Ivy couldn't be more proud to be a backer of Double Feature Press and their debut dark offering, written in tandem by Robin Spriggs and Joseph Pulver, two acclaimed "writer's writers" who have the attention and devotion of legions of horrorheads, weird fiction fans, and Mythos devotees around the world.

If there was ever a time to get on the bandwagon of a winning team, it's now, as Double Feature Press threatens to show the rest of them how it's truly done."

Supporter Nick Gucker says: "For all sorts of selfish reasons and reasons beneficial to all involved with Double Feature Press, I hope this fruiting body comes to fruition.
For I'd like to sink my brainteeth into them there scribblings."

Supporter Scott Nicolay says: " I am very excited about this project. We all talk about the next Lovecraft, or the next Ligotti, or the next Stephen King, but I think Sarah L. Covert has the critical acumen to be the next Ellen Datlow--and that is something really powerful. As Matt Cardin recently pointed out, we are clearly riding the wave of a new Golden Age of Horror, especially of quality weird/cosmic horror that meets a high literary standard (Cardin himself is right there at the forefront). Great writers demand great editors and great publishers. Good luck Sarah!"
