About Us

About Encyclopocalypse Publications

Encyclopocalypse Publications is a fiercely independent publisher dedicated to the weird, the wild, and the wonderfully horrific.

We specialize in genre fiction with a deep love for horror, science fiction, and fantasy—breathing new life into lost classics, forgotten paperbacks, and cult film novelizations. Like the boutique film labels preserving and celebrating genre cinema, we exist to carve out a space for the kind of storytelling that's often overlooked by mainstream publishers.


What We Do

From resurrecting out-of-print gems to crafting fresh, pulse-pounding original horror, Encyclopocalypse is a haven for readers who crave the strange and sensational.

But we don’t stop at books—we embrace the full spectrum of genre storytelling, collaborating with:

Severin Films, Shudder, The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, Daily Grindhouse, Dark Horse Comics, Shout! Factory, Gruesome Magazine, Rue Morgue Magazine, Dread Central, Daily Dead, Bloody Disgusting, Magical Threads, Heroic Signatures, Pandi Press, ParanormalX, Timberwolf Entertainment Partners, JC Whitney, and Mad Cave Studios

...to bring genre fans exactly what they’ve been looking for—even if they didn’t know it yet.

Whether it’s a long-lost horror paperback, a novelization of an underground cult classic, or something completely unexpected, we’re here to deliver.


Our Mission

At Encyclopocalypse Publications, our mission is simple:

Preserve. Celebrate. Expand the world of genre storytelling.

We’re here for the die-hard horror hounds, the sci-fi obsessives, and the fantasy fanatics—the readers who dig through dusty shelves in search of that one forgotten book, who live for the thrill of discovering a story that feels like it was made just for them.


How We Do It

  • Reviving classic novelizations and out-of-print horror treasures
  • Publishing bold new voices and boundary-pushing originals
  • Creating a niche, dedicated market for the stories we grew up loving
  • Expanding into film, audio, and beyond


Non-Fiction Too

We don’t just publish fiction—we also dive deep into film and pop culture with:

  • Celebrity memoirs
  • Behind-the-scenes explorations of horror cinema
  • Critical essays and analysis that highlight the creators and moments that shaped our genre-loving lives


In Short?

Whether it’s a pulse-pounding horror novel, a cult film novelization, or an insider’s look at a cinematic classic, we’re here to deliver stories that entertain, enlighten, and electrify.


Why Buy Direct From Encyclopocalypse

When you buy direct from Encyclopocalypse, you’re doing more than just adding a book to your shelf—you’re helping to keep independent genre publishing alive.

Every direct order means more support for the authors, artists, editors, and creators behind the stories you love. It allows us to take bigger risks, release stranger books, and continue digging deep into the world of cult film, weird fiction, and offbeat storytelling without compromise.

Buying direct helps us, our incredible authors and partners:

  • Offer exclusive editions, bundles, and signed books you won’t find anywhere else

  • Ship faster and with better packaging (we’re collectors too)

  • Invest in new projects, pay our authors fairly, and stay weird in the ways that matter

Amazon and the big stores have their place—but when you shop direct, you’re helping to build a sustainable home for the kind of stories that don’t fit in the algorithm.

This is horror on our terms.
And we’re glad you’re here with us.
