Life is Lit and so are you. We’re a literary press and that’s what we do. We want to challenge your perspectives and take you to places you’ve never been.
After 10 years, we finally own The previous owner let the domain expire after unsuccessfully trying to sell it to us for thousands of dollars.
Weird lit always prevails.
The sudden loss of Giancarlo DiTrapano hits us at Maudlin House incredibly hard. His devotion to the literary world was beyond inspiring. He was brilliant. He was a legend. He will not be forgotten.
Rest in peace, Gian. Indie lit won’t be the same without you…
We have a publishing tip for writers that not everyone wants to hear but we want to say it anyways: start writing something that is true to you and stop writing to gain the approval of publishers who only want to use your writing to get ahead…

Immeasurably grateful and excited to announce that my first collection of short stories, BIRDS AREN'T REAL, will be published by the good, great folks at

I mean, we did say that 2025 would be lit. First, Joseph Fasano, now an eccentric, mind-bending sci-fi/horror/literary novel from Jessamyn Violet???
Stay tuned for a few more exciting announcements…
In constant awe over the amount of books and authors we’ve collaborated within the past few years. Be on the look out for our entire catalogue at The Next Lit Fest in Denver next weekend ☺️☕️
Unbelievable that it’s only been two weeks! The Swallows Of Lunetto is really one of timeless books that everyone should read at least once. Try to catch Joseph on tour and definitely look for it at your local bookstore…

Drumroll, please…we are psyched to announce the novel that will complete our 2025 line up: SITUATION NOWHERE by Bobby Miller.
Buckle up for a satirical odyssey that’s as quirky as a Wes Anderson flick and as sharp as a Gaiman tale. Coming to warp your bookshelves in March 2025!
Double Bird is a book. Have you ever read a book? Okay. Name one book. Haha, that's funny I can hear the gears in your brain trying to make up a clever lie. You've been exposed. We all know. You've never read a book. Good for you. This will be your first:
