From the Heart of Orkney.
Boabhan Sith Books Ltd.
Celtic & Gaelic Mythology.
Gothic Fiction.
An independent press based in Kirkwall, Scotland — devoted to stories shaped by old landscapes, older voices, and the things that refuse to stay buried.
Our name comes from the Highlands—from the Baobhan Sith, the vampire-muse of the glens.
Beautiful. Ancient. Dangerous.
That is the nature of the fiction we publish.
We altered the spelling deliberately.
Partly for safety.
Partly for discretion.
We are Boabhan — the press.
She is Baobhan — the vampire.
Some names are best respected at a distance.
Distinct in texture, bound by the same dark thread.
Celtic, Norse & Gaelic Mythology:
Fiction rooted in stories that remember the old gods, the fae, and the rituals buried in the peat. The kind of tale that pulls you into the haar before you realise something is already watching.
Gothic Fiction: Dark, atmospheric fiction where history develops fractures — and something older seeps through. Stories of grand houses with cold corridors, of grief that won't lie quiet, of the past pressing its face against the glass.
Whether a story is set in a Neolithic stone circle or a smog-choked Victorian alley, the setting must breathe.
