    Twitter used to be our main marketing tool--the primary way we sold books online and got the word out.

    These days, not so much.

    Please help support us and our authors with a signal boost! We are an independent publisher based in Chennai with books on folklore from different parts of India, graphic novels, ghost encyclopedias, weird horror, pulp fiction in translation, and some pretty strange little zines.
