About Me

Sawhorse Books is a D.I.Y ethic publishing company powered by the buckled little soul of Chris Odgers (me). Set up in 2005 as a platform to publish my own stories and illustrations, Sawhorse now has two black hearted little offspring (Mule and Souvenir), with a third illegitimate brethren called 'Fall', originally published by Collision, and imprint of Atlantic press books. Fall is out of print and the others are close on it's trail. Although i'm gonna repress at some point. Although with an obvious commercial direction, I try to put out books that are a little different from the mainstream, maintaining quality of design/paper stock/etc, resulting in, hopefully, a treasured little book. Not much else to say, as I’m terrible at writing this stuff, people have compared the books to Edward gorey/tim Burton that kind of thing. Oh and they're all set to quite romantic gothic prose to, that I guess are kinda Poe-ish, anyways check out the galleries or visit www.sawhorse.co.uk to check more stuff out. You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
