British publishing imprint
Abaddon Books is a British publishing imprint, founded in 2006. It is part of the Rebellion group of companies, along with publishing companies Solaris Books, "2000 AD", 2000 AD Graphic Novels, and Cubicle 7.
Abaddon publishes "shared world" novels in the horror, science fiction and fantasy genres. Describing itself as a return to "the good old days of pulp fiction", the imprint focuses on shorter, action-driven novels with dark or horrific themes.
