Founded in 1994 by Douglas Greene, Crippen & Landru is a small press, independent publisher of mystery fiction collections. They are based in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. The publishing house itself is named after murderers Dr. H. H. Crippen and Henri Landru.

Crippen & Landru publishes two distinct series of single-author, short story collections. The Regular Series, generally featuring current authors, is published in two editions: cloth bound, signed and numbered; and trade softcover. The Lost Classics Series features uncollected stories by great mystery and detective writers of the past. It is available in dust-jacketed cloth and trade softcover. Some titles are also available as e-Books.

Among the authors published by Crippen & Landru are Lawrence Block, Max Allan Collins, Margaret Maron, Peter Lovesey, Bill Pronzini, Michael Gilbert, and Edward D. Hoch.

Crippen & Landru Submissions

This is where it gets good, and why we included Crippen & Landru: It’s all short stories. Where do you find that anymore? The Five and Dime?

And it’s not an anthology; it’s single-author collection. So get your otherwise unwanted short stories together. In the meantime, shoot them an email for more details on submitting: info@crippenlandru.com.
