About Blue Crab Books

Blue Crab Books is an independent publishing house dedicated to bringing classic literature to today’s readers through beautifully designed, carefully produced editions.

Our catalog spans Gothic literature, crime and mystery, women’s classics, adventure, fantasy, memoirs and autobiography, and children’s books, alongside original titles and resources for writers and independent authors.

We believe the experience of reading begins before the first page, from typography and illustration to cover design and formatting. Each Blue Crab Books edition is created with attention to the character and atmosphere of the work itself, while preserving the authenticity of the original text and treating the author’s work with respect.
