Where shadows whisper and secrets never stay buried

Cosmic Birdcage Press is an independent publisher specializing in horror, paranormal fiction, and espionage thrillers. Our titles are driven by atmosphere and suspense—stories that keep readers locked in and looking over their shoulder.

We're also bringing that same sensibility to the tabletop. Our debut game, Undead: Year One, is currently in development.

Coming Soon

Birmingham, England. 1971. The Cold War has never felt closer to home.

After years in the making, Eclipse of the Mind — the first book in The Dominion Files series — is officially arriving May 15, 2026.

A queer alternate history espionage thriller set against the tension and glamour of early 1970s Britain, Eclipse of the Mind follows a cast of brilliantly flawed characters whose loyalties, secrets, and love lives are as dangerous as the conspiracy closing in around them. Bold, character-driven, and unapologetically LGBTQ+, this is the series I have always wanted to write.

Pre-order and purchase details coming soon.

In a game of power and shadows, the heart is always the last to know.
