After a two-year break forced upon us by the dreaded "C" word, Ink Stains: A Dark Fiction Literary Anthology is back! We are proud to share our fourteenth edition, featuring Twenty-four new dark tales by Steven Baker, Chad Barger, AJ Bartholomew, Andy Betz, Eddie Cantrell, C. Christine Fair, Dillon Hendrick, R.M. Linning, K.L. Lord, Kayleigh Marinelli, Matt McCain, Rachel Eve Moulton, A. A. Nour, Hannah O'Doom, Cassandra O'Sullivan Sachar, Chris Parker, Rachel Racette, Elizabeth Rosen, Aaron Schmelzer, LM Therrien, A.G. Travers, Dominic Turnea, Rami Ungar, and Jeremy Wenisch. These writers carry us on a journey from the absurd to the horrific to the heartbreaking. Within these pages, characters will face betrayal, sin, wickedness, and-perhaps most terrifying-themselves. Maybe you will even recognize a glimpse of yourself in their stories. Whether as the hero or villain-that is between you and your soul.What's Inside

Ink Stains, a yearly anthology published by Dark Alley Press, is about shining a stark light on the shadows of life, exploring those dimly lit corridors, and unearthing those long-buried secrets. We don't believe good will always triumph over evil or that someone will always be around to save the day. Sometimes all we have is ourselves. And the stories that keep us turning the page.
