In 2025, Miskatonic Books will be limiting the number of preorders we list in our shop. The reason behind this is that we don’t want to take money out of pockets for books that may or may not be delivered in a timely manner. There have been many delays in our publishing market over the past year, so this just seems like the safest, most responsible and fairest option.

Instead of taking money up front for preorders, we will be using our waitlist feature on the site. Those interested in obtaining forthcoming titles through Miskatonic Books can sign up for the waitlists for each product. You will get notified as soon as there is stock added to our inventory. For a list of products we are expecting in the near future, please visit and bookmark the link below:

As with the majority of titles we carry, they oftentimes sell out extremely fast, and we try to restock titles if they remain available.

Budgeting Tip: Our first shipment of new titles is generally sold at the lowest cover prices due to the fact that we purchase many imports in bulk. With overseas shipping costs rising, it’s generally a cheaper unit cost we pass along to customers. On restock orders, we generally order less and oftentimes the increased shipping costs will force us to increase cover costs due to higher expenses to get the products in. So, it’s usually best to join these waitlists and order early before our stock is initially depleted and cover costs rise.

Account holders can keep track of products on their waitlists under the My account / My Lists section.

Important note: Wishlists are NOT waitlists. Meaning: if you put a product on your wishlist, there will be NO automated notifications sent to customers. So please make sure you sign up for waitlists (or stock notifications) to be informed as soon as the product arrives. Any out of stock product will have a signup for notifications, not just future titles.
