Ten Cent Mercy Press

A small Southern press publishing haunted, literary works from the dark corners of American memory.

Ten Cent Mercy is rooted in the land — in faded churches, dirt roads, and the stories we carry.

We tell the kind of stories you find in glove boxes and graveyards — broken things, half-remembered prayers, blood still fresh on the altar.

Our books don’t flinch. They reckon with sin, sorrow, and whatever’s waiting out past the tree line.
