“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
– Ernest Hemingway
Some writers attack the alphabet with such ferocity and bloodlust that pens become weapons in their hands – and the only wounds are in the form of poems. Epic Rites Press celebrates these horrible workers in blood.
 by Mark Walton
48 pages $10 ISBN: 9780981184401 Epic Rites Press, 2009 “Mark Walton’s poems fizzle with energy and capture the modern gay experience in all its many guises.”
– Paul Burston, Time Out London “I found Frostbitten lucid, harrowing and compelling.” – Paul Magrs, novelist “There couldn’t be a more flawless collection of poems in our hands.” – Rob Plath, author “To say that this book is powerful in its content is almost demeaning. If this book is any indication of what Epic Rites Press can do, I say, look out world! The small press may never be the same.” – RD Armstrong, Lummox Press  Frostbitten $ 10.00 Reviews

 by David McLean
48 pages $10 ISBN: 9780981184425 Epic Rites Press, 2009 “Powerful, delicate and written in a style all his own; McLean digs deep into the cultural psyche of Pinhead – and along the way, lays ruin to our own sense of being, worth and reality.”
– Jack Henry, author “Barker’s monsters are always us twisted out of (or into) a certain truth... Hellbound is an excellent analysis/exploration/dissection of the Hellraiser mythology.” – Alan Kelly, Fantastic Horror “Forget cheesy horror film remakes. If you want to get scared, really scared, wrap your trembling fingers around Hellbound and let David McLean lead you deep into the labyrinth of the human psyche and leave you for dead.” – Wolfgang Carstens, author  Hellbound $ 10.00 Reviewsby Jane Crown, The Jane Crown Show
