The Veiled Archive Press catalogue brings together two distinct kinds of reading experience: speculative fiction for adults and warm, illustrated books for young readers. Each book page includes its language, format, intended audience and ISBN so readers can identify the correct edition.
The Lucky and Som collection is designed for shared reading, early language exploration and screen-free creativity. The Book of Samyaza: The Watchers offers a very different journey, using science fiction to reconsider ancient accounts of the Watchers and humanity's forgotten origins.
For adult readers
Explore The Book of Samyaza for speculative fiction inspired by Genesis, 1 Enoch and the ancient Watcher traditions.
For bilingual families
Choose English–Thai, English–Vietnamese or English–Simplified Chinese storybooks that place both languages alongside full-colour illustrations.
For creative practice
Use the activity and colouring books for playful language work, observation, drawing and quiet screen-free time.
