Rachilde & Co. is an independent micro press that offers ephemera and decadent books—especially those written by women and LGBTQ+ authors—inspired by the nineteenth century and beyond.

The press’s namesake is Rachilde (1860–1953), “Queen of Decadence,” the prolific French author who was the most prominent woman of the late nineteenth-century Decadent Movement.
