ESSEX HOUSE

ESSEX HOUSE
   A short-lived (1968-9) Los Angeles publishing imprint, a subsidiary of Milton Luros's Parliament News, Inc., specializing in highbrow erotica. Many Essex House novelists were young serious writers (several of them poets), and some used scenarios drawn from sf and fantasy, including future DYSTOPIAS, as settings for their pornography. About half the 42 titles published by EH were sf/fantasy; they included novels by Philip Jose FARMER, Richard E. GEIS, David MELTZER (perhaps the most distinguished), Michael Perkins (1942-) and Hank STINE, of which a number were ambitious, some literary, and most somewhat joyless - even emetic-and redolent of 1960s radicalism. The unusual aspirations of this imprint are generally attributed to its young editor, Brian Kirby, who also edited the pornographic books of the sister imprint, Brandon House.
