Antellus is a private independent publisher of fiction and nonfiction books on a variety of subjects with emphasis on science fiction, fantasy, vampire fiction, mythology, philosophy, critical thought, history, historical fiction and adventure. From time to time we may publish children's books and graphic novels, poetry and experimental prose. The quality of the books we produce is on a par or very close to those of "traditional" publishing houses. Born in 2006 the brainchild of author/publisher Theresa M. Moore as Ikthalion Press, the name was adopted as an idea. When a search for the name turned up a reference to a mad centaur poet named Ikthalion quite by accident, the coincidence seemed serendipidous. We adopted it in reference to the "Lord of The Rings" trilogy of films, in which even the smallest person can make a difference, and it is that philosophy which we strive to maintain, no matter the current view of small presses and independent publishers. But as time went on we knew that a change was necessary to include the future as well as the past. With our new logo, Antellus has the continuing mission to educate as well as entertain.
