Isola Curiosa Books is Sam Siciliano's imprint. He has had twelve traditionally published novels, but in 2025 the slowness, difficulty and frustration of dealing with publishers and agents made him decide to self-publish. Also, many of his books do not fit neatly into the typical categories. This will allow him to publish some of his more creative efforts like a Victorian swashbuckler and a comic Western with Teddy Roosevelt and Enrico Caruso. SHE REINCARNATE, another Holmes/Vernier novel, available in March 2026, is the first book to appear under the imprint.
Sam Siciliano has had three vampire novels published:
BLOOD FARM: AN IOWA GOTHIC, Pageant Books, mass market paperback, 1988 BLOOD FEUD, Pinnacle Books, mass market paperback, 1993, reprinted 2001 DARKNESS, Pinnacle Books, mass market paperback, 2001
He has also had nine Sherlock Holmes novels published by Titan Books.
Avenir Light is a clean and stylish font favored by designers. It's easy on the eyes and a great go to font for titles, paragraphs & more.


The titles appeared as part of Titan's FURTHER ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES series. All are available as trade paperbacks or in various e-book formats.

And new in March 2026 under the Isola Curiosa Books imprint,
SHE REINCARNATE: Could Rider Haggard's wildly popular 1887 novel about a cruel two-thousand-year-old virgin queen hidden away in deepest Africa be based upon a true story? And has "She-who-must-be-obeyed" been reincarnated as a beautiful young woman in Victorian London? A popular "nerve doctor" seems to think so, but Holmes and Vernier must investigate this and the bizarre theft of a mummy, one of Ramses II's royal queens. The secretive, magical and hermetic society known as the Temple of Thoth may play a part in these intrigues. Holmes must unravel the mysteries before a fateful ceremony upon the night of the full moon and the autumnal equinox.
