Modern Folklore PressLast year was full of poetry, fantastic (and fantastical) novels, and inspiring non-fiction. These are our favorite books we read in 2022. Note, they were not all published during the year.

Modern Folklore Press is excited to share the release of At the End of the World by Kevin J. Fellows. This debut marks not only a first for the author, but is also the first novel published by Modern Folklore Press. This has been a busy but rewarding couple of months reaching this milestone. It all started on a long flight across the US in the summer of 2018.
At the End of the World is available at your favorite retailer today.
