The Eden Book Society was a publishing house which produced horror novelettes for a private list of subscribers from its inception in 1919 until 2006, presided over by the Eden family. Handed down through the generations, the history of the Eden Book Society is intertwined with that of the Eden family itself - shrouded in mystery and occult intrigue, with many dark rumours emanating from their ancestral home of Irkwell Manor.

Dead Ink secured the rights to the Eden archive - a century of unseen horror, written under pseudonyms by some of the greatest authors of their day - and will reissue The 1993 Collection later this year: eight vintage horror novellas, never previously available to the public. Join us as we bring a century of unseen horror out into the light...

    We've delved into the Eden Family archive to uncover artworks, music and maps; as well as a litany of horrifying true stories from the Eden family history.

The Eden Book Society is a literary hoax perpetrated by Dead Ink in order to create a playground for today's horror authors to let their imaginations run wild. The real authors behind the 1993 collection are Chikodili Emelumadu, Grady Hendrix, Alison Rumfitt, Alex Pheby, Nina Allan, John Darnielle, Rowan Hisayo Buchanan & Kylie Whitehead.
