Lurid Editions

Lurid Editions is a micro but culturally ambitious publisher reprinting overlooked queer and feminist books. Established in 2022, Lurid’s first publication was Chase of the Wild Goose, Mary Gordon’s historical fiction about the Ladies of Llangollen – a forgotten classic of queer modernism. Like Gordon’s novel, Lurid is motivated by a strong desire to connect with stories from the queer past. Our publishing activities aim to repair gaps in the historical record by making available books that have fallen out of circulation, sometimes by accident, other times by active suppression. We publish across different genres, fiction, and non-fiction.
