  Epic Rites: any press is only as “small” as its thinking.™
Picture
“Epic Rites Press is a revolutionary gamble. These are the days when everyone hides under the nearest rock and gets out of the way of the line of fire. Epic Rites Press is right in the middle of the line of fire and I love that!”
—Todd Moore, Dillinger

“Epic Rites Press always manages to capture the blood and guts. There are a lot of underground places that try to push that envelope, but it’s a hard thing to do right.  Epic Rites Press does it.”
—RL Raymond, PigeonBike Press

“Epic Rites Press publications are characteristically raw, deeply flawed and personally confronting. Imagine, if you will, a twisted but cathartic broken bottle, heaving and slashing and spilling out from its bloodied core the excesses and frailties of human sewerage onto the page.”
—George Anderson, Bold Monkey

“Epic Rites isn’t a publisher, it’s a war machine bent on destroying the small press status quo. If you’re at all interested in diverse and vital writing, you need to dig through the ERP catalog. You’ve got your pick of poetry, story collections, novels, plays...and with each new release, the work gets bolder, the production value goes up, and the fire these books light under your ass gets just a little hotter. You and your bookshelves may never be the same again.”
—Matt Galletta, The Ship Is Sinking
