About Me

::storytellers, mythmakers, bookbinders, defenders of the ephemeral arts::

Seraphemera Books:
A gothique boutique publisher of handmade books, handmade journals, gothic novelties, new writer chapbooks, comic books and more...

..
As a parliament of rooks or an exaltation of larks before them, Seraphemera Books is a decay of artists who are, amidst this darkened age of memoir culture (as the alchemists of old who sought to turn lead into gold), seek the method and means to bring diamonds to dust.
We create hand-bound books that are not just journals or aesthetic pleasures, but have stories entwined throughout the textures and turnstiles of printed pages.
We create hand-made paper from all of the scrap that is used in the progress of process.
We create that which is sought through process - to summon up the oomph to carry on, to bring forth imagination in a world that bombards with due dates and electric bills and responsibilities.
We know of only one responsibility, thus: to tell the tale. If this leaves us too far to the wing of the innocent dreamer for our age and experience, for this an age of seemingly pending oblivion...then so be it.
Our work is the continuation of the pursuit of wings and fire and the flight that comes from the synthesis of these concepts.
Constantly changing, daring to evolve, attempting to be wrong with the root of experience over academia in sight.
In relentless search for endless possibility to see us through this age of infinite choice.
