Deep Vellum to Publish Filth Eaters (Summer 2026)

Dallas, Texas – Deep Vellum has acquired World English rights to Filth Eaters by Ito Romo. A high-strung and inventive literary horror that will delight fans of Stephen Graham Jones and Mariana Enriquez, Romo’s novel traces the thousand-year lineage of a new kind of vampire—the Mestizo Filth Eater.

From the Indus River Delta in 1099 to the Muslim Spanish empire of the 1400s to a flooded cyberpunk New York City of the future, this surprising, bloody saga turns a new page for a centuries-old genre.

Deep Vellum is an amazing publisher. Don’t waste their time, or yours: first, see if your book fits in with these Deep Vellum titles.
