Parallel Universe Publications was originally created by David and Linden Riley in 1995 to produce a science fiction/fantasy magazine called Beyond. This ran for three issues and published stories by John Brunner, Karl Edward Wagner, Keith Brooke, Ramsey Campbell, Stephen Laws, and Simon Clarke, as well as regular features from Stephen Gallagher and Kim Newman. Now, years on, we have revived the imprint to start a new line in books, the first of which was Craig Herbertson's The Heaven Maker & Other Gruesome Tales in 2012.
We have gone on to publish over 60 books, including two artbooks and a book of poetry. Our latest projects include a trilogy of stories set in ancient Atlantis by fantasy writer Afrian Cole (Elak - Warrior of Atlantis; Elak - King of Atlantis; and Elak - Sea Hawks of Atlantis) and a series of anthologies of swords and sorcery stories (Swords & Sorceries: Tales of Heroic Fantasy), which has so far been our most successful project yet, with a tenth volume due in May 2025.
