⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There's No Escape: An Inky Bones Press Dark Decades Anthology Edited by Inky Bones Press - Robin Knabel Writing

ANNOUNCEMENT: ANUBIS PRESS IS MERGING WITH NIGHTMARE PRESS!!!

Our paranormal nonfiction imprint, Anubis Press, will now be absorbed by Nightmare Press.

Anubis Press is where we published books on the paranormal, extraterrestrial, cryptid, and other strange phenomena. Going forward, we will be publishing and selling Anubis Press product as Nightmare Press product.

Though there are no major plans for paranormal projects in the immediate future, that door is now open. So, anything could happen.

Soon, the website will be restructured to reflect this merger, with the paranormal nonfiction being kept separate from the fiction. There will be other changes to the website, as well.
