Black Bile Press in an explosive Canadian micro press — publisher of new fiction chapbooks and the literary magazine Front&Centre.  Founded by Matthew Firth in 1994, Black Bile Press is committed to publishing the best, salty new fiction from Canadian and international voices — quality work from writers who kick against the pricks.

“Matthew Firth is a tireless supporter and promoter of small press publishing and writing; is one of the under-appreciated and, like the rest of us, underpaid for his efforts.”  
Daniel Morely Johnson, Word - Toronto's Literary Calendar, June 2003

Suburban Pornography and other stories

by Matthew Firth

Quill & Quire's "books of exceptional merit" list says of Suburban Pornography —

"The 17 stories in Suburban Pornograhy take a blowtorch to that idea of Canadian literature, setting it alight and crafting out of its ashes a series of meditations on urban malaise that are minimalist, unflinching, and profane."
