DARKEST MARGINS

Aim
The aim is to raise funds for the 1st print run of DARKEST MARGINS: 24 Essays on Liminality and Liminal Spaces in the Horror Genre.
1428 Publishing Ltd is a brand new indie publisher that is all about horror!
Curated and Edited by Matt Rogerson, with a Foreword by Dr Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, DARKEST MARGINS is a collection of twenty four essays from leading and up-and-coming genre writers exploring expressions of liminality and liminal spaces in the horror genre, across cinema, literature, television, art and video games. Taking in the anthropological, psychological and architectural liminality, and accompanied by four stunning pieces of original artwork, the assembled academic and engaging essays undertake what has not been done on this scale before: to explore, map, analyze and discuss those rites of passage, states of ambiguity or disorientation and physical waypoints in a wide variety of works across more than a century of horror media.
This crowdfunder is your perfect chance to secure a copy of the limited edition, first run of DARKEST MARGINS, as well as some incredibly cool, liminal horror related perks.
EACH PERK LEVEL INCLUDES A PRINT COPY OF DARKEST MARGINS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED, AND THE PRICE INCLUDES SHIPPING.
Please note: the publication of this book is not entirely dependent on this crowdfunder. Creative contributors have already been paid, and the book will be published, on schedule, in late November 2025. The outcome of this crowdfunder will help to determine just how many copies we can afford to print!
