The Imprint

Athanatos Press publishes work intended to be read, used and cited long after the news cycle that produced it has passed.

The criteria are three. The argument has to be original, the framework has to travel, and the prose has to earn the page.

Every title is held to depth-psychological discipline and the readability of trade nonfiction. The kind of book a serious reader keeps on a shelf they return to.


Athanatos is the Greek for undying. The name is the promise.
