Established in 2006, Farrago Press is one part of a many-fingered grasp at the bizarre, the interstitial, and the uncanny in contemporary literature. Our flagship publication is Farrago's Wainscot, an "exhibition of weirds, an almanac of experimentation, decay, and the problems with form." Our irregular, companion blogozine, Behind the Wainscot, concentrates on similar themes in smaller, more fragmented form. Our first full-length single publication was Mark Teppo's The Oneiromantic Mosaic of Harry Potemkin, a serialized, hypertext novel that ran as part of the 2007 Wainscot Exhibition—available in expanded form at www.psychobabel.net. In 2009, we will publish our first print novel, the sequel to The Oneiromantic Mosaic . . . Psychobabel by Mark Teppo.
Farrago Press is fully independent.

Darin Bradley holds an M.A. in Literature and Literary Criticism and a Ph.D. in English Literature and Theory—he specializes in the mechanics of weird in contemporary, small-press, speculative fiction. Having worked in the past for The Porch, American Literary Review, Strange Horizons, and GrendelSong, he now edits fiction for Farrago's Wainscot and the Chrysography Books imprint of Drollerie Press. He enjoys classic science fiction and horror films, single-malt scotch, and speaking about himself in third person.
Darin's writing has appeared in or is forthcoming from PostScripts, Electric Velocipede, Strange Horizons, Polyphony 6, The Internet Review of Science Fiction, The Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts, The Semiotic Review of Books, Membra Disjecta, Paper Cities: An Anthology of Urban Fantasy, Drollerie Press, Diet Soap, 3:AM Magazine, Bewildering Stories, Abyss & Apex, Astropoetica, Sein Und Werden, and The Porch.

Aaron Leis is currently finishing a creative Ph.D. in Contemporary American Poetry. His critical interests include the Gothic, Poetry Theory and History, High Modernism, British Romanticism, Semiotics, the Sublime, Myth and the mechanisms of belief, the Imagination, Skepticism, and the Carnivalesque. His poems have appeared in The Beloit Poetry Journal,
Lead Magazine (NZ), Sheridan Edwards Review, and others. In 2002 he was chosen to read for the Dallas Museum of Arts' Arts and Letters Live reading series, and in 2005 won the Sr. Madeline Kisner Prize for Poetry judged by David Lunde. In addition to Farrago's Wainscot, Aaron is also founding Poetry Editor for The Porch. He lives in Denton, Texas, where he haunts the local music scene and inflicts all manner of horror films upon unsuspecting friends. His ultimate goal is to write a poem that's like watching Guinness settle.
