Black Annis Books A project of Pumpernickel House (see other related projects). This project is believed to be defunct. (November 2022) About Black Annis Books is an independent press interested in feminist horror, and horror that is socially conscious. We want your best work that uses elements of horror to explore social and emotional issues in beautiful, terrifying, metaphorical ways. Think Us, It Follows, and Midsommar. Think a modern "Yellow Wallpaper." Think the dark fairy tales of Angela Carter. Make us think, and make us shudder.
