Abaddon Books is a British publishing imprint, founded in 2006.[2] It is part of the Rebellion group of companies, along with publishing companies Solaris Books, 2000 AD, 2000 AD Graphic Novels, and Cubicle 7.[3]

Abaddon publishes "shared world" novels in the horror, science fiction and fantasy genres.[4] 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.[5]

The line was founded by Jonathan Oliver,[4] who has been Editor-in-Chief of Abaddon and Solaris Books since Rebellion bought the latter from BL Publishing in 2009.[6]
