Hola Fahrenhistas,
It’s been a little while ain’t it?
We’re very pleased to say that rumours of our demise have been greatly exaggerated - we’ve actually been here the whole time, working away behind the scenes, finding the best books in the world, and figuring out new ways to make the whole thing pay.
We’ve been at this game for 10 years solid now so we made a conscious decision at the start of 2025 to take a breath, figure out how we were gonna make sure we’ll be here for another 10 years, and if we’re really honest - we needed to find our joy in this whole publishing lark again after a very high pressured and stressful few years trying to keep the Good Ship Fahrenheit afloat.
Like so many of you, we felt we had no choice to leave Twitter behind last year and then at the same time, engagement from Facebook & Instagram dropped off a cliff for everyone so we were left very much floundering, trying to find ways to reach our audience without the tools that had served us so well for the previous decade.
The good news is that during the last few months we’ve developed new clever ways to make our below the line ads convert well above the industry average so although we’ve dropped off all the socials we’re still surviving.
If anything it shows how much the social media platforms have become such a dominant factor in everyday publishing life that when you stop posting 10 times a day everyone thinks you’ve shuffled off this mortal coil.
Turns out that if a tree falls in a forest NO-ONE HEARS IT IF THEY DON’T SEE IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
Anyway, the only social platform you’ll see us on moving forward is Bluesky (which amazingly still isn’t turned horrible - yet) - we’re fahrenheitpress.bsky.social over there - and maybe we’ll throw in a very occasional Instagram post.
Okay, so that’s the house-keeping out of the way, let’s tell you about just one of the cool new things we’ve been working on…

FAHRENHEIT POCKET NOIR KICKS OFF WITH A BANG WITH THREE BULLETS FROM TODD MORR
That’s right, we’re not easing into this. We’re diving headfirst into chaos, grit, and grin-inducing violence—with three pulp-noir bangers from Todd Morr, a maestro of mayhem and one of the most gleefully twisted voices in the Fahrenheit stable.
Fahrenheit Pocket Noir launches with:
Instant Karma
If You’re Not One Percent
A Briefcase Full of the End of the World (brand new and explosively unhinged)
These aren't just books. They’re high-octane, comic-book-style carnage wrapped in razor-sharp wit. Think Tarantino meets Jim Thompson, then hands the wheel to a grinning maniac with nothing to lose. Todd Morr’s stories punch like brass knuckles and wink like a hustler who already picked your pocket.
And the covers? Oh, man.
They’re pure pulp gold—channeling the vintage noir paperbacks of the 50s, splashed with a graphic-novel flair that pops off the page. Hard shadows, bold colors, and just the right amount of sleaze. Each one is a statement: this is noir with style, swagger, and a sense of humor as black as a hitman’s heart.
Fahrenheit fans know—we don’t do generic. We do crime fiction with teeth, stories that move like a getaway car and sting like a sucker punch. And Fahrenheit Pocket Noir is built for that energy. Small books. Fast reads. Big attitude.
Todd Morr is the perfect opening salvo. His tales are violent, funny, cynical—and yes, weirdly joyful. It’s noir that knows how to throw a punch and a punchline.
So go ahead—grab the first three and stick 'em in your pocket - we've got a whole bundle more cool titles on the runway ready to fly.
Welcome to the dark side—now pocket-sized.
We’ll have a whole bunch more news for you over the coming weeks so stay tuned and sign up if you haven’t already.
Feels good to be back,
We kiss you

Welcome back! We’ve missed you.
