Small Press Spotlight: Tachyon Publications
This is last month's Small Press Spotlight
Who are they?
In their own words: "Founded in 1995, Tachyon Publications LLC is a publisher of smart science fiction, fantasy, and horror, as well as mysteries, memoirs, young adult, and literary fiction. We champion the creative storytelling of authors who inspire us through intelligent prose and imaginative worlds. Our titles are consistently unique, thought-provoking, and entertaining."
Tachyon Publications is based in California, and while they do publish a variety of genres, their specialty is SFF, especially anthologies and short story collections. They have a number of award-winning authors publishing with them.
Website and Store
The website is clean and slightly old-fashioned looking, and while it's not super interesting too look at, it gets the job done.
The store has options to search by All/eBooks/New/Forthcoming/Originals/Anthologies/Bestsellers. "All" is sorted alphabetically, with good-size covers of each book and the author, title, and price listed below each. When you click on a title, it takes you to a description of the book, options to buy, and other details about the book and author.
Have I heard of/read any of their books?
A bunch of them! The Peter S. Beagle books, Apocalypse Nyx, the Patricia A. McKillip books, Falling in Love with Hominids...They're pretty good at picking books.
Anything else?
There's not a lot about them online that I've seen, which I think is kind of weird, but they definitely exist and I don't have much to add.
