History

Night Shade Books is an American imprint (formerly a San Francisco-based independent publishing company) that specializes in science fiction, fantasy, and horror. The company was started in 1997 by Jason Williams, with Jeremy Lassen coming on board as a partner shortly after the company's founding.

After being investigated by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) in 2010-2013 due to author complaints of contractual irregularities, Night Shade Books indicated that it was facing bankruptcy. Skyhorse Publishing purchased the author contracts and publishing rights, and continued Night Shade Books as an imprint of their company, with its main office and sales office in New York, and distribution through Simon & Schuster.
