Featured Books

Book cover for 'Life in South Africa' by Alan H. Bedford. The cover features a cracked rainbow with phrases like 'Loadediding Crisis,' 'State Capture Inquiry,' 'Plagued by Poverty,' and 'Rising Crime Rate.' The background appears burnt and blackened with torn edges.

Life in South Africa: Crime, Corruption & the Truth About the Rainbow Nation
By Alan H. Bedford
Forget the travel brochures. This is what happens when idealism meets armed robbery.

Book cover titled "Ghostwriting 101" by Chazic Hanscombe with a vintage typewriter illustration, motivational quote, and a pastel background.

Ghostwriting 101
By Chazic Hanscombe
A brutally honest guide to making money from someone else’s dreams — and surviving the gig economy with your soul half-intact.

Cover art for 'Before the End Brothers' by Chazic Hanscombe & Eli Shane, featuring three characters against contrasting dystopian backgrounds, with a female cyborg-like figure on the left and two male armed figures on the right. One in the desert and the other in a neon-lit cityscape.

Before the End: Brothers
By Chazic Hanscombe & Eli Shane
Two brothers. One war. Zero happy endings. A bleak, bloody sci-fi epic about family, failure, and the lies we tell to survive.

ABOUT HANSCOMBE

Hanscombe Books is a small, sharp-edged publisher putting out fiction that bites and non-fiction that stings.
We like broken systems, broken characters, and inconvenient truths.

FOUNDER’S NOTE

We don’t believe in “uplifting.”
We believe in cutting through the noise, the fluff, and the corporate filler.
If that sounds like your kind of story— welcome.
