Quirk Books is an American independent book publisher based in Philadelphia. History Before 2002, Quirk Books was a creative studio that would pitch novel ideas to other publishers. Quirk Books was founded as a publishing company in 2002 by David Borgenicht, co-author of ''The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook''. During its first years of operation, Quirk Books mainly targeted the gift book category. Quirk Books would publish one-note joke books, but this genre was eroded with the arrival of humor blogs. Jason Rekulak, who is credited for being the house's publisher who developed the mash-up novel style that makes the singularity of the company, got the idea of digging into public domain classics and mash them with fiction or horror features. The release of '' Pride and Prejudice and Zombies'' (Seth Grahame-Smith, 2009) was the publisher's first venture into the novel mashup genre. The original idea was developed by Rekulak and assigned to Grahame-Smith with a $5,000 advanc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
