Ramble House

Ramble House is a small American publisher founded by Fender Tucker and Jim Weiler in 1999. The press specializes in reprints of long-neglected and rare crime fiction novels, modern crime fiction, 'weird menace' and 'shudder pulps' short story collections from rare pulp magazines, scholarly works by noted authors on the crime fiction genre, and a range of other books of a collectible or curious nature.^[1] In addition to its main publishing arm, Ramble House has two imprints: Surinam Turtle Press and Dancing Tuatara Press, headed by authors Richard A. Lupoff and John Pelan, respectively, both of whom are now deceased.

Ramble House titles were originally handmade by Tucker in small, craft editions, but growth in the publisher’s list, together with print-on-demand technology, led to the titles becoming available online as trade paperback editions. Gavin L. O’Keefe has served as cover designer for over 25 years, creating many original designs for the books or adapting existing artwork. He is also an occasional commissioning editor for the line. Psychedelic fiction author Chase Griffin joined the team in late 2025 as Loon Funhouse Operator.
