Founded in 1971, Dorchester Publishing was noted mainly for
their paperback romance line. Later they published westerns, thrillers, and
were the original imprint of the Hard Case Crime titles. During the late 1990’s
and 2000’s their Leisure Horror imprint was the preeminent source for fans of
horror fiction. They even offered a Horror Book Club where readers would
receive two titles a month at reduced prices.
With authors like Richard Laymon, Jack Ketchum, Dennis
Etchison, Ray Garton and Edward Lee, Leisure Horror was the purveyor of some of
the most top-notch books in contemporary horror. Beset by financial trouble,
Dorchester dropped its book clubs and was late or negligent on paying its
authors. Eventually, the company crumbled under the weight of debt and poor
marketing. Fortunately, it left behind a legacy of horror for readers to
continue to enjoy.
