Riverdale Avenue Books is a New York-based hybrid publisher that releases e-books and print titles across a broad portfolio of imprints, including horror, science fiction and fantasy, mystery, erotica, memoir, and pop culture. The company serves readers and enthusiasts in niche genres by curating and producing specialized titles under imprints such as Afraid, Circlet, Dagger, Desire, Magnus, Truth, and others, alongside both fiction and nonfiction works related to gaming, sports, lifestyle, and LGBTQ themes. Its approach combines traditional publishing with innovative strategies to adapt to shifts in the industry, seeking to offer authors a path to publication that covers diverse, targeted audiences through multiple formats. Based in New York, Riverdale Avenue Books has developed a footprint within the publishing landscape by acquiring assets from Circlet Press in 2020 and pursuing collaborations, such as a partnership with the Lizzie Borden House in 2025 to produce related anthology content. The firm operates with a relatively small team and maintains an online presence through its website.
