THE ONLINE ARCANE SHOP is still closed. We are planning on opening a new online bookshop for our published novels and our vintage/pre-loved and rare books soon! We are thinking about the options available to us. As soon as we have made a decision, we will start populating the shop first with copies of I Am a Muse and The Book of Thoth (individual copies and bundles) then will move on to pre-loved and vintage and rare books. It will be a slow process but we are determined to get there in the end!
In the meantime, we have some pre-loved books in the unit we share with Matt ArtPix at The Customs House, West Bay, Dorset.
Arcane Publishing has an online shop HERE. Activity has been suspended on this account until we open our new online shop!
We also attend events where we sell our new and vintage, rare and pre-loved books.
See our EVENTS PAGE for more details.

The Right Place
Publication date: Early 2024 This is Arcane Publishing’s next publication and is set in Dorset. 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. The cover artwork, which represents St Catherine’s chapel in Abbotsbury, is by local artist Sam Cannon. The novel even has a playlist! |
Hell Lane, A Barton Stacey mystery
Pub date: TBC
When London detective Barton Stacey is called to the West Country to solve a strange mystery, is he really ready to face the dark secrets he is about to uncover, hidden in the deepest holloways of the English countryside?
Hell Lane is a tribute to Agatha Christie's detectives and Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. It will be a fun "rural noir" story with a retro feel, complete with a glamorous actress, an author plagued with writer's block and a suitably gloomy vicarage among other things...
