Kate Macdonald founded Handheld Press in October 2017, and 48 books later, this summer, they ceased publishing new titles, and the press will shut down completely in June 2025. From now until then I suggest anyone interested buy, direct from the publisher, what they want of the Handheld list, which includes notable fantasy and science fiction titles, as well as ten volumes of "weird"--anthologies as well as single author collections. Eighteen titles fall under the F&SF category (see the list here), though there are many other titles of interest among the 48 volumes. I'm sorry to see this venture end. I have supported it along the way. Here is a photo of twelve titles I just fished out of my shelves--this includes all ten "weird" books, chronologically left to right, plus at the end a collection of stray writings by Sylvia Townsend Warner titled Of Cats and Elfins, and her biography of T.H. White.

I've only got "The Void and The Vortex" in my collection at the moment, but it's a shame to see a venture like this go under, so I shall definitelty explore their catalogue more thoroughly .
