Nightfire is a new horror imprint to be launched by Tom Doherty Associates with the first publication planned for 2021. TDA President Fritz Foy will be the publisher over the new imprint, though no editorial staff have yet been announced. The imprint will compliment the company’s science fiction lines Tor, Forge and Tor.com, which publish many of the leading writers in the genre.
The imprint will span the full spectrum of horror, from short story collections to novellas and novels, standalone works and series, from original dark fantasy and supernatural stories to reprints of lost modern classics. Announcing the new venture, Fritz remarked, ‘There is a renaissance in progress for all things horror. There is a new generation of horror fans who are setting weekend genre box office records, who are binge streaming episodic TV, subscribing to weekly chat and drama-based podcasts, and purchasing more graphic novels. More importantly, there are new literary voices we want to bring to our reading communities and followers… And also because we just plain love horror.’
