Does anyone have information about this publisher, Eldritch Press? It's new. The earliest date I have for the publisher is June, 2014, but I believe it's actually about a year older.

This Eldritch Press is not to be confused with an older Eldritch Press (eldritchpress.org) which published public domain works. I believe that press is no longer in operation. This Eldritch Press publishes horror poetry and is now branching out into novels.
Eldritch has accepted one of my novels, and I received a contract. The problem is it's nearly word for word this contract:

It sucks. There are also mistakes such as litigation would take place in the state of Texas, where the publisher is from, but at the end, the agreement names the state of Maine. Someone forgot to write Texas. :/
I don't know whether I should negotiate the contract so that it benefits me, or just let this one go. I have no idea what sales rates are or how the publisher handles publicity, if at all. Does anyone else know anything about this press?
