Leamington Books was founded in 2020 to publish new fiction and poetry, and since 2021 has published debut novels each year, in the commercial, literary and crime styles.

We have published two poetry collections each year, a mixture of new and established authors and performers, in Scottish Gaelic as well as English.

We have published six anthologies, on diverse themes and non-fiction titles on Nordic runes, cryptocurrency, and the lyrics of Bob Dylan.

Our list is bolstered by a series of 12 new novellas from far and near which we published in 2022 and 23, and we also publish the (nearly complete) novels of John Herdman (b.1941), the arch practitioner of the Scottish Gothic.

Finally we publish an ongoing list of what we call Gothic classics in new editions, with essay, gloss and sometimes illustrations.

About

We manage six imprints: Leamington Books, Garrison, The Magic Road, Gothic World Literature Editions, Pierpoint and our Poetry Imprint.

Leamington publishes the work of John Herdman, the novella and short novel writer, whose books have a gothic and sometimes supernatural edge, in the tradition of Scott and Hogg.

In 2023 we published two debut novels:

Vlad by Gavin Bowd (historical)

S6 by TS Westbrook (crime; investigative thriller)
