ARCANE PUBLISHING is a small independent publishing entity founded in 2012 primarily to publish novels by Carya Gish.
We love telling stories and we have a passion for beautiful books!
We publish stories which are modern yet infused with an acute sense of history and the importance of the past: our own, but also that of the society and the world we live in. Our publications also reflect our love of the arts, music and literature.
Miss Gish has firmly positioned herself within the ‘Occulture’ coined by writer and academic Robert Macfarlane in his article The Eeriness of the English Countryside.
We have published two novels and are currently working on a third one, with two more stories taking shape...
If you would like to know more about them, please go to their individual pages on the menu at the top of the page and/or check Carya Gish's WEBSITE.
You can read reviews and features about I Am a Muse HERE.

It is inspired by PJ Harvey’s song The Wind, by the book Secret Places of West Dorset by Louise Hodgson and by the landscape, history and legends of the county.
