Fictionalizing the space between the official story and the ugly truth
About Us
Fiction So Real, It's Criminal
In the cracks of the city, between the gleaming promise and the grimy reality, a story waits. It’s a story of power, corruption, and the choices made in the dark.
Shadowline Press exists to publish that story.
We are the home for modern noir that dares to blur the line between the headline and the unspeakable truth. Our authors are guides to the underbelly, masters of morally complex tales that hold a stark light to the corrupt and ask the questions that make powerful men nervous.
We don't provide easy answers. We provide the essential questions. If you've ever finished the news and felt a deep, unsettled itch—if you know the real conspiracy isn't about aliens, but about greed and power—then you're already one of us.
Welcome to the Shadowline.

Reality's Darkest Fiction
Shadowline Press is an independent publishing house dedicated to the modern noir genre. In an era of misinformation and political spin, we believe fiction can be a powerful tool for scrutiny.
Our books are designed to entertain, but also to provoke. They tread the thin line between reality and fiction, poking holes in official narratives and exploring the shadowy intersections of power, money, and justice.
We seek out authors who are unafraid to ask pertinent questions about our political landscape and the nefarious doings that shape it.
Our mission is simple: to publish compelling, intelligent crime fiction that doesn't just distract from the world, but dissects it.
We publish noir for readers who know that the most dangerous lies are the ones told from a podium.
This isn't escapism. It's armament.
