The press
We publish the impossible as though it were ordinary.
Stories for the spaces between the familiar and the impossible.
Sighthound Press is an independent literary press publishing liminal fiction. Work that treats the impossible as a natural part of everyday life. No explanations offered. No epiphanies.
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. Understated, faintly impossible.

Praise
What a wonderful style this writer has—quick, terse, surprising, open to the surreal, to a sense of urgency, to great wit. The most dramatic parts of this story—the escape, the destination—seem somehow productively to live in the background. It’s the immediate, often absurd present that dominates here, a present characterized by kaleidoscopic events, by the impossible, by the workings of an agitated mind. There’s so much to admire here, particularly this writer’s ability to let his story unfold slowly, fascinatingly.
