My name is Ben DeVos, and I’m the founder and sole editor of Apocalypse Party, a small press dedicated to horror books that push boundaries and defy convention. Since 2018, I've poured my heart into building this press, curating a catalog of forty books that blur the boundaries of fiction and form a kaleidoscopic mirror of an increasingly bleak world.

Apocalypse Party has always been a labor of love—a project sustained by my personal investment of time, energy, and resources. Over the past year, life has brought significant changes: a move, having to switch jobs, and a set of challenges that have made it increasingly difficult to carry this work forward alone.

Running a small press is not easy. To date, I've covered the costs myself—paying for design and production out of my own pocket, and handling all of the editing work myself. While the response from readers and authors has been incredible, the reality is that to sustain and grow, I could use some help. I want to continue producing exciting books that take risks, while compensating our designers, hiring editors, and offering advances to the talented authors I hope to collaborate with.

The submissions I've received over the years have exceeded my wildest expectations, and I believe in each one of the books that the press has had the honor to publish. Apocalypse Party has the potential to expand, to publish more challenging, unique horror, and to reach a wider audience—but I can't do it alone.

Your support will help cover the cost of editing, design, and advances for authors, ensuring that Apocalypse Party can not only continue, but reach the next level. Any contribution, no matter the size, brings the press closer to that vision.

Thank you for considering a donation and for helping Apocalypse Party continue its mission of publishing boundary-pushing literature.
