We here at West Pigeon Press strive to publish dark, resonant fiction. As you’ll notice if you choose to make your way through our collection, this phrase—dark, resonant fiction—isn’t easy to unpack. In other words, there is a lot going on here. Our preference gravitates toward the evocative and unsettling. We were going to say ‘weird,’ but then we thought better of it, because there’s nothing too ‘weird’ about feeling unsettled. In fact, being unsettled is all too familiar a feeling.
None of us living may know what death entails, but to be unsettled is to experience its closest corollary, loss. Maybe that frisson is what drives us—and by us I mean us, the publishers, and you, the reader—to seek out this resonant, dark brand of fiction.
There, again with the term, resonant. Because ephemeral frisson...well, that’s no frisson at all.
