As a last word for #INDIEpendence:

DID YOU KNOW?

A portion of each Dark Fire Press book sale goes to its creator(s).

ALSO: Creators also keep the rights to their IPs. We only ask for the exclusive right to publish the books signed to us (for the length of the contract).

The series that started Dark Fire Press. Gentleman Cthulhu, is DFP's first published work and the catalyst behind its initial establishment.

From the demented sense of humour of J. M. DeSantis

I had a couple of indie comics that I overlooked yesterday, and I want to make sure I also highlight these!

A few from friends and a couple better-knowns.

Experimentation has always been a cornerstone of J. M. DeSantis's work, and part of that motivated DFP's initial creation: a place to publish some of those ideas.

The Tainted Ones has proved popular, though, and many hope J. M. will expand it.
