About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Arcane Lyre Press publishes dark fantasy with literary ambition, mythological depth, and a fascination with the intimate and uncanny. We seek stories that resonate like folklore and unravel like dreams—where language, power, and identity strike chords that echo beyond the page.
