“There are three kinds of pipe. There’s what you have, which is garbage, and you can see where that’s gotten you. There’s bronze, which is pretty good, unless something goes wrong. And something always goes wrong. Then, there’s copper, which is the only pipe I use. It costs money. It costs money because it saves money.”
Welcome to Moonstruck Books, an independent, queer-run press that publishes otherworldly, haunting fiction.
To be “moonstruck” is to be stricken with love, lunacy, or a vision of the future. Our books reflect this suddenness and our willingness to be swept away by it. The press is named for the perfectly-imperfect 1987 film Moonstruck, starring Cher and Nicolas Cage, quotes from which are featured throughout this site.
