An independent Canadian publisher with genre-hybrid stories that span the globe.
Books that break boundaries.
When you pair the action and readability of first-class genre fiction with thought-provoking concepts and historical periods, the sky’s the limit.
Bad Unicorn Press
Bad Unicorn was born of the desire to challenge genre expectations and push the boundaries of what’s considered popular fiction. We believe books can be both entertaining and informative, that reading can offer a welcome escape while maintaining a socially progressive lens.
Speculative Fiction
Where fantastical notions meet cutting-edge thought.
Historical Fiction
Breaking barriers and upending outdated representations.
Memoir
An opportunity to offer a window into unique experiences.
Collaborative Projects
Shared creative spaces might be the new future of publishing.

We’re forging new pathways in the world of publishing, ones that support Canadian talent, and encourage and facilitate international collaboration.
Together, we will challenge outdated boundaries dividing uniquely Canadian tales, and foster quality, thought-provoking fiction that engages with global discourse.
“I inhaled An Inheritance of Curses whole and cannot wait for the next book in this refreshingly otherworldy new series.”
