Dark Intersections Press is an emerging independent book publisher specializing in science fiction horror. We started in April of 2025 as a group of writers and their friends in the Boston area looking to create a new platform for this subgenre.
Who is the publisher?
Currently, Eric M. Budd is the publisher who manages most administrative details. Others involved with Dark Intersections also handle other matters, such as managing our Facebook page.
What do you mean by "science fiction horror"?
Science fiction deals with stories revolving around science, technology, exploration, strange life forms (both terrestrial cryptids and extraterrestrial aliens) and/or futuristic settings, including utopian, dystopian and post-apocalyptic.
Horror is written to invoke fear in various forms: shock, dread, paranoia, loathing, et cetera.
Examples and tropes which cover the overlap of science fiction and horror include:
* body horror
* monster literature
* alien invasion/infiltration
* mad scientists
* AI takeover
* space madness
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is considered by many to be the first modern science fiction novel, as well as a classic of modern horror. Other examples are:
* Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
* The Invisible Man by H. G. Wells
* I Am Legend by Richard Matheson
* Creature from the Black Lagoon, produced by William Alland and directed by Jack Arnold
* The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham
* The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney, later made into the film Invasion of the Body Snatchers
* The Alien film series
