We are incredibly excited to announce that we will be publishing a fine press edition of THE FISHERMAN by John Langan!!!

Here at Nepenthe Press we have long considered ‘The Fisherman’ to be a classic of Weird Fiction and we are honoured to be working again with John on this Nepenthe fine press edition. The Fisherman, as well as being a remarkably powerful meditation on love and loss, is a tour-de-force of contemporary Lovecraftian Horror.

In upstate New York, within the woods, Dutchman's Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked and fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true.

When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumours of the Creek and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss them. Soon, though, the men find themselves drawn into a tale as deep and old as the Reservoir.

It's a tale of dark pacts, of long-buried secrets, and of a mysterious figure known as the Fisherman. It will bring Abe and Dan face to face with all that they have lost, and with the price they must pay to regain it.

Reviews for THE FISHERMAN:

'Illusory, frightening, and deeply moving, The Fisherman is a modern horror epic. And it's simply a must read' - Paul Tremblay

Reading this, your mouth fills with worms. Just let them wriggle and crawl as they will, though—don’t swallow. John Langan is fishing for your sleep, for your soul. I fear he’s already got mine’ - Stephen Graham Jones

An epic, yet intimate, horror novel. Langan channels M. R. James, Robert E. Howard and Norman Maclean. What you get is A River Runs Through It... straight to hell’ Laird Barron

What starts as a slow, melancholy tale gains momentum and drops you head first into a churning nightmare from which you might escape, but you’ll never forget, and the memory of what you saw will change you forever’ Richard Kadrey

The Fisherman by John Langan will be available in three states, letterpress printed and fully illustrated. We haven’t pinned down precise dates but it will be available to pre-order late 2025 or early 2026 and will be the next title after METROPOLIS. An updated schedule will be forthcoming, further details will follow shortly.
