About Us
Candelabræm Books will be the first indie publisher to provide stories for the truly dark and daring at heart. Our mission is to serve readers the very strangest, most pleasurable, and darkest of tales. Tales that shy from the light of day...but dare to be read by candlelight.We strive to serve readers mature, dark, and fantastic tales from twisted dreams born of secret desires and the love of storytelling.Our stories feature characters who may not always be on the straight and narrow or have intimate desires themselves. While dealing with these self-inflicted limitations, dire consequences, and tantalizing provocations, they may attempt to overcome the workings of the very worlds they live in.Not all is always as it seems. By candlelight, Reader, you will learn the truth—if you dare.Whether you are here to read or to hang out amongst the shadows of the Candelhaus, we only ask that you remain on your best behavior—the abyss has been giving us funny looks lately.Oh, and bring reading glasses. It's kinda dark in here.
Created in 2020, Candelabræm Books is located in Hamden, Connecticut. It will soon be the home for stories and works by Mar Qaroll—and hopefully by others in the future.
