DarkSide Publisher is a Brazilian publishing house focused on releases in horror, suspense, dark fantasy, and True Crime. Founded in 2012, it has gained recognition for its unique approach to book publishing, providing high-quality editions with striking covers and illustrations.
Founded by Christiano Menezes and Chico de Assis, it was the first publishing house in Brazil exclusively dedicated to the horror genre. The partners, who met in the music and digital photography market, adopted the motto “Bet on the dark”, focusing on books in the fantasy, science fiction, and horror genres, as well as promoting national and international authors in these genres. Today, 11 years later, DarkSide is a phenomenon in the Brazilian market. The publisher already has a hundred books published, with at least nine distinct editorial lines, segmented by subject and audience.
One of its trademarks is its exceptional graphic work, which turns every book into a work of art, and it is certainly one of the reasons for the publisher’s success. The books feature striking covers: they are crafted with carefully thought-out details, vivid illustrations, and designs that capture the readers’ attention. Many of them are so impressive that they become collector’s items on their own. Additionally, the publisher uses high-quality paper in its editions, providing a distinctive reading experience.
In summary, DarkSide’s graphic work is one of the main factors that set it apart in the Brazilian publishing market. Its unique aesthetic approach helps establish an emotional connection between readers and books, making each publication a memorable visual and literary experience.
Another notable aspect of the publisher is its commitment to creating unique literary experiences. It often releases limited editions and thematic series, providing readers with the opportunity to dive even deeper into their favorite literature universes and encouraging fans to collect these books.
In the Brazilian literary landscape, DarkSide represents not only a publishing house but also a community of passionate readers who find a gateway to mysterious and fascinating worlds in its publications.
