About

I would like my books to be sorts of scalpels. Molotov cocktails or minefields and that they would explode after use like fireworks - Michel Foucault


A small, but potent publishing house dedicated to publishing thought-amplifying literature and theory without regard to genre distinctions. We eschew the vagrant elitism of that hopeless label of "experimental" on the grounds that every work of fiction or theory is inherently an experiment (why else do it?). Our aim is to focus on 6-8 titles per annum. Enigmatic Ink, formerly Crossing Chaos Enigmatic Ink,  has published books by underground mainstays and obscure literary luminaries, counting among its roster authors such as J. J. Steinfeld, Hugh Fox, Martin Heavisides, and others. It continues in its program to publish contemporary relevant authors without regard to the effete elitism of nationalized literature.
