The datura press —
An imprint for the haunted

The Datura Press is a publishing imprint for works that bloom in the margins — strange, bold, and haunting

We specialise in fiction that dares to go deeper: genre-defiant novels, poetic experiments, and dark flowers of narrative that take root in the depths of the unconscious.

From rebellious witches to strange detectives and haunted Americana, these are books to be felt in the blood as much as the brain.

Datura is myth-minded, future-facing, and fiercely independent

— Dom Salmon, Founder, The Datura Press
