Papaveria Press is an independent British publishing house based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. It specializes in special, limited handbound editions and paperbacks in the fields of fairy tale, myth and poetry.
Papaveria Press was founded by American writer and artist Erzebet YellowBoy Carr in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, US) in 2001 before transferring to Wakefield (West Yorkshire, United Kingdom). [1]
Papaveria Press publishes handbound, non-ISBN limited editions of original and not short stories and poems and paperbacks, also in electronic format. [2] Papaveria's catalogue also mentions some one-off releases made on order. [3]
Founder and owner Erzebet YellowBoy Carr personally binds all the special editions released by Papaveria, with the aim to make each book a work of art not only for its contents but also in its appearance. [4] She defines books as "small gods". [1] [5]
Papaveria donated all the proceeds from their sales to Doctors Without Borders in the wake of the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami. [6]
Between 2010 and 2011 it became an imprint of Circle Six alongside Hadean Press (also founded by Erzebet YellowBoy Carr alongside her husband Dis) and the newly founded Alchemy Press [7] in order to make the handling of the financial side smoother. [8]

Mythic fiction is literature that draws from the tropes, themes, and symbolism of myth, legend, folklore, and fairy tales. It is usually set in the real world and deals with realistic issues, but a mythic atmosphere prevails; however, not all mythic fiction is fantasy, and the fantastic component is not always blatant. Mythic fiction ranges from retellings of fairy tales to stories based on myths to those loosely inspired by myth and legend, using their motifs to create new stories.
