From its inception, The Monolith has been dedicated to offering readers unique and compelling stories, whether through free releases or formally published works. Early projects under The Monolith banner helped lay the foundation for what would become the platform's defining feature: a commitment to high-quality fiction. The first official series to debut through The Monolith was Absolute Valentine, a collaboration between writer Tom Haswell and CPOP’s own artist, March of Venus. This inaugural series garnered notable success, setting a strong precedent for future releases.
Building on the momentum of Absolute Valentine, The Monolith followed up with Chinatown, written by Chris Reynolds. This gritty, immersive series quickly became the platform’s most influential and widely read title. Its popularity solidified The Monolith as more than just a niche publisher—it became a force in the independent publishing landscape, helping to cultivate a loyal readership.
By 2019, The Monolith had evolved beyond its original focus as a CPOP-exclusive platform. Expanding its scope, the company welcomed external authors and writers who were eager to showcase their original works. This shift allowed The Monolith to transition into a broader publishing entity, where unique voices and independent projects could thrive. One such collaboration was with author Darren DeToni and the publication of Ravensbank House, a chilling and atmospheric work that broadened the platform's range of genres. This marked a pivotal moment in The Monolith’s journey, as it embraced stories that existed outside the boundaries of CPOP’s existing intellectual properties.
As The Monolith continued to grow, the platform saw the launch of additional successful series, including Grisyke and Vampyr, the Second Race, two of the newest original titles to join the lineup. These projects, along with collaborative ventures such as those with Midknight Heroes, underscore The Monolith’s dedication to providing a home for diverse stories and voices in the world of independent publishing.
However, like many creative industries, The Monolith faced unforeseen challenges during the global COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, the platform was put on an extended hiatus as the world grappled with the effects of the pandemic. Despite these setbacks, certain projects—such as Corrogatio—managed to persist during this difficult period. The pandemic delayed much of The Monolith’s planned progress, but in 2021, the platform made a triumphant return.
With the lifting of restrictions and a renewed sense of purpose, The Monolith resumed its operations, picking up where it left off with previously paused projects while also introducing new and exciting titles to its growing catalog. With a bright horizon ahead, The Monolith has focused on building lasting momentum, ensuring that both CPOP-based fiction and original works by independent authors continue to find a home under its banner.
As The Monolith looks to the future, it remains committed to fostering creativity, championing unique storytelling, and supporting writers who seek to push the boundaries of independent fiction. With a strong foundation and an ever-expanding portfolio of titles, The Monolith is poised to remain a prominent and lasting figure in the world of independent publishing.
