At The Datura Press, every Friday the 13th is a celebration of the shadows.

See you in the archives. Or perhaps, see you in Hell. Love, Datura. 🖤

In Florence, we are surrounded by the "ghosts of the unfinished." It’s a haunting reminder that the "Demon of Distraction" is often more comfortable than the soul-baring architecture of the Work itself.

We're raising the dead at The Press in our latest Substack. We've dug out a dusty twenty-year old manuscript and we're making it sing for serialisation. What projects of yours are worth a rescue from oblivion?

They are a sneaky lot, your unreliable narrator, yet we always give them the benefit of the doubt, how come?

We always know. Deep down. 🕯️

We know the narrator is lying to us, and yet—we keep reading. Why?

Head to our website or Substack to read: "Don't Believe a Word"

We’ve got a big announcement coming Friday for Narcisa.

But don’t forget… Agent Walker has ghosts of his own.

Meet Kathleen — the first in a shifting cast of shadows, and half-told truths.
