Who We Are

Eric Mathis Publishing was created as a direct outlet for the written works of filmmaker and author Eric Mathis. This publishing arm exists to bring Eric’s stories to readers without outside interference, middlemen, or the limitations of traditional publishing systems.

Our focus is simple. We publish Eric’s novels, adaptations, and original written material with complete creative control and direct access to the fans who support his work. Every book released under Eric Mathis Publishing reflects the same spirit that drives Eric’s films: independence, honesty, and a commitment to delivering bold, high quality storytelling.

Eric founded this imprint after seeing how often writers lose ownership of their creations. By publishing his work himself, he ensures every novel reaches readers exactly as intended, without compromise, censorship, or long delays.

Eric Mathis Publishing is the home of his literary voice, built to deliver his stories straight to the people who want them most.

Our growing catalog of novels brings the worlds of Eric Mathis to the page with the same intensity, atmosphere, and edge found in his films. Each book is crafted with care, expanding the stories, characters, and mythology far beyond what can fit on screen.

Begin with our current titles:

Infernal: The Novel
A wild, brutal, darkly funny descent into the cursed heavy metal world of INFERNAL. This novel dives deeper into the characters, the lore behind the record, and the demonic chaos that erupts across a forgotten town. Fans of the film will find new scenes, expanded backstory, and a richer, more twisted look at the devil’s game.

Rougarou: The Novel
A haunting, atmospheric Southern Gothic horror story rooted in Louisiana folklore. The novel version of Rougarou explores the curse, the bloodline, and the terror surrounding Emma Robicheaux with greater depth and psychological intensity, revealing layers of myth and tragedy far beyond the screenplay.

 

Eric Mathis Publishing is committed to delivering bold, immersive novels that give fans more of the stories they love. Dive in and explore the written worlds behind the films.

Creator-owned. creator-driven 

"Eric Mathis Publishing was created because creators give everything to their work and are too often asked to give away the rest. We spend months, sometimes years, pouring our time, hearts, sweat, money, and sanity into our art, only to be funneled into systems that take the profits, the control, and the ownership while offering little in return. I chose a different path. This imprint exists so my work remains creator-owned, uncensored, and released on my terms, delivered directly to the people who believe in it at the same level of quality, or higher, than traditional publishing. By partnering with an exceptional print team, I am able to produce beautiful, premium books while protecting my intellectual property and honoring the creative process. Eric Mathis Publishing is about independence, creative control, and building a direct, honest relationship between artist and audience. This is not about cutting corners. It is about cutting out what never served creators in the first place." -Eric Mathis
