Pnakotic Press gathers and copies out the things that will not hold still the moment they are measured, set down, or read. To copy a found record without changing a single character — that is the work this press has long done.
We are watching a little further.The imprint
Under the name Pnakotic Press, we have copied out a lighthouse keeper's log, a surveyor's shaft, the answer a wireless operator received, and the book a librarian could not read to the end. Dark fantasy and cosmic horror — stories measured against a rule older than any human one.
The main serial, The Number Beneath the Ledger, is a record copied out in the autumn of 1997, in the archive room of a merchant bank. In the hand that copied old ledgers onto microfilm, the numbers swelled by one digit each time they were set down. What made them swell, we never answer. We only copy it out.
Copy it out, but do not read to the end.
