DARK TERRITORY

Dark Territory is an independent publishing house based in Austin, Texas. It brings together a growing catalog of work: the Crop Report newsletter, original novels, and writing produced for other publications and clients. The house exists to give distinctive, carefully made writing a home and a name to stand behind. Explore the current catalog below.

The Crop Report

Crop Report is the house's flagship newsletter: longform dispatches on the UAP phenomenon, the machinery of secrecy built to manage it, and the older folklore that keeps bleeding up through the modern world. Written in its own voice - what the newsletter calls the agro-culture, the running idea that civilization is a field and the harvest has always been us - each entry follows the evidence past the point most accounts stop. New dispatches land regularly, and the archive rewards readers who start from the beginning.

The Remainder

The first novel to come out of Dark Territory, and Book One of Tales from the Agro-Culture. It follows Ovid Banks, an auditor who inherits his late father's quiet decades of research and makes the mistake of checking the numbers himself. What begins as a ledger becomes a slow-burn thriller; the thriller becomes a cosmology; and then, against every expectation the genre allows, the whole thing arrives somewhere close to hope. Available now in hardcover, paperback, and Kindle.
