Caipora Books is an independent international publisher focused on folklore, dark fantasy, and cultural storytelling.
Our mission is to bring handcrafted, atmospheric worlds to readers around the globe.

We are also home to Caipora Kids, our children’s imprint dedicated to soft-gothic, folklore-inspired storytelling for young readers.

Together, both imprints form the Caipora Universe — a home for magical creatures, forest spirits, myths, and beautifully crafted visual narratives.

Who is Caipora?
Representation and diversity take many forms:

Caipora is a creature belonging to Indigenous Mythology who protects the jungle and its animals.

It is imperativ to say, that Kurupira / Curupira / Caipora / Kaipora is a creature belonging to the indigenous people. And it is imperative to treat this piece of ancestral treasure with due respect. To me, Caipora is also a mystery and one of the world’s most beautiful pieces of Folklore that nobody knows outside its origin Continent, and I decided to change that.

Caipora is here to bring to you stories of another kind. Old and New, we dive into the Dark Mysteries of Nature and tell you tales you never imagined possible.

This beautiful myth is our face: a face of mixture and integration. Expect depth and poetry from our books; many of them were written by women. We want to disrupt Fantasy & Occult Fiction and show you that Fantasy can be mainstream, but it doesn’t have to.
