The Press
Bough Breaks Press is a personal fiction imprint — one author, one creative vision, one commitment to stories that live at the edges. The threshold between wonder and dread, between the familiar world and the one that waits just beneath it. This is a home for fiction that dares to be atmospheric, immersive, and unforgettable.
Good stories break something open in the reader. That's not a warning. That's the point.
What We Publish
Fantasy
Epic worlds, unexpected magic, and heroes with cracks in them. Stories that feel lived-in and earned.
Dark Fantasy
Where the monsters are real, the beauty is dangerous, and the choices don't come out clean.
Young Adult
Voice-driven, emotionally honest, and never condescending. YA that respects its readers.
Mystery & Suspense
Page-turners with atmosphere. Every clue a thread, every reveal a small devastation.
Dark Academia
Old halls, secret knowledge, obsession, and ambition. The kind of book you read in one sitting.
Gothic & Atmospheric
For readers who like their fiction to have a weather — rain on stone, candlelight, something watching from the dark.
