'''Elder Signs Press, Inc''' (aka '''ESP''') is a [[Michigan]] based [[imprint]] of [[Independent Publishers Group]]. It specializes in [[genre fiction]], specifically: [[horror]], [[science fiction]], dark fiction, and [[fantasy|fantasy literature]] titles.
==History==
This [[small press]] company was founded by [[gaming|gamer]] and [[Lovecraftian horror]] enthusiasts in 2003 in order to create the ''[[Call_of_Cthulhu_(role-playing_game)|Call of Cthulhu]]'' [[fanzine]] ''Book of Dark Wisdom''. Due to increasing competition in an already niche market, ''Book of Dark Wisdom'' changed its format in issue 3 to publish primarily dark fiction and poetry.
In 2004 Elder Signs Press released its first book, Stanley C. Sargent's collection of Lovecraftian short fiction titled ''Ancient Exhumations +2''. While Elder Signs Press is perhaps best known as a publisher of [[Cthulhu Mythos]] fiction, it has successfully expanded into genres beyond its original scope, such as [[cyberpunk]] and [[apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction|apocalyptic survival horror]].
