About Lethe Press


Lethe Press is an independent publishing house specializing in the genres literary fiction, books of gay interest, poetry, spirituality, occult & supernatural, and science fiction. Named after the Greek river of memory and forgetfulness (and pronounced Lee-Thee), Lethe Press is a small press devoted to ideas that are often neglected or forgotten by mainstream, profit-oriented publishers. Founded in 2003 by Steve Berman, Lethe Press has grown steadily in its first few years, and its books have been nominated for dozens of prizes and awards.

Lethe Books are distributed by Ingram Publications and Bookazine, and are available at all major bookstores, as well as the major online retailers. As described on the How to Buy Page, we especially encourage our readers to patronize their local bookstores, in particular their local gay bookstores. It's worth the extra effort to support a community institution run by your neighbors!
