If you’re bored of this World, we have others…

The Datura Press is a Florence-based literary imprint penned for the haunted, the myth-minded, and the beautifully strange.


Spreading the word

We publish experimental gothic fiction, modern myths, and dark, character-driven worlds that are built to linger.

A tarot card titled "Narcisa Before Narcisa" featuring a young woman in a black Victorian dress, holding a scale, standing beside a large wolf with a thick fur coat, surrounded by intricate decorative patterns and a dark, tree-lined background.

Narcisa Before Narcisa

Black and white photograph of a person's face wearing a cowboy hat, with visible cracks and a textured surface.

Walk Into The Dream

A stylized drawing of a woman with her hair obscuring her face, and the hashtag #FEERSUMHANDMAIDEN written at the bottom.

An uncanny detective

A civil servant discovers a series of “novels” that are in fact case files. Professor Marble is real — as are the monsters he hunts.
