Independent Literary Press
We publish the impossible as though it were ordinary.
Sighthound Press makes liminal fiction — quiet stories set on the thresholds where the familiar turns strange. Surreal things happen, and no one thinks to be surprised. Murakami-influenced, understated, faintly impossible.
