F+W Media Announces Crime eBook Imprint Prologue Books

Prologue Books

F+W Media officially announced this past week the acquisition of more than 250 out-of-print crime novels, originally published between 1940 and 1970, to be reissued as ebooks under its Prologue Books imprint. Formats supported include Kindle, Nook, Apple iBook, Sony, and Kobo.

"I envision Prologue Books not simply an e-book publisher for out-of-print titles, but as a living record of the crime, science fiction, and fantasy genres," said Ben LeRoy, publisher of Tyrus Books, who is spearheading the project. "There's a great opportunity to shine the spotlight on authors who may have been significantly influential on the current state of publishing, but who have never really received their due for one reason or another. With the help of luminaries in the genres—authors, readers, reviewers — we are excited to find and share those stories."

Authors whose books are currently available include Robert Colby, Richard Deming, Fletcher Flora, William Campbell Gault, Orrie Hitt, Frank Kane, Henry Kane, M. E. Kerr, Ed Lacy, Whit Masterson, Marijane Meaker, Wade Miller, Vin Packer, Kin Platt, Talmade Powell, Peter Rabe, and Charles Runyon.
