DarkLit Press Troubles

Canadian independent horror publisher DarkLit Press appears to be defunct; their website and social media accounts are no longer functional, and messages sent to their emails bounce.

Some of their authors, including Steve Stred, have reported problems in recent months, including unpaid royalties, a lack of royalty statements, communication difficulties, and other issues.

DarkLit was founded in 2021 by Andrew Robert, but he left the company earlier this year, with Caitlin Marceau taking over as editor-in-chief. She also runs Hedone Books.
