In Sterquilinis Invenitur
(In Filth it Will be Found)
Church Ghost is a small press operating out of Cleveland, Ohio, featuring an international cohort of artists and writers. With an eye towards the esoteric and unusual, Church Ghost aims to integrate literary complexity and graphic art sophistication in finely produced books and art prints. Furthermore, the press is steadfastly elitist and committed to reinstating a culture of quality and gatekeeping.
Comix. Design. Prose. Glossolalia. Peacockery. Obscenity. Minimalism. Orphism. The sacred and the profane. We embrace these contradictions because we can. We do this because one book opens another.
—Aaron Lange, Publisher
