Discover the Darkset Chronicles...

Monsters in Masquerade is the flagship anthology from OwlCrate Press—and my first major act of curation. Featuring a constellation of bestselling and debut voices, it explores what hides behind the mask: monstrous selves, secret identities, and the truths that refuse to stay buried.

I didn't just edit this project—I built its bones and put my first published short story, "A Little Death," through a litmus test. From acquisitions to structure to editorial vision, together with Team Press and our incredible editors, I shaped Monsters in Masquerade into what it is: a haunting, genre-bending invitation to the dark corners of story. It’s a declaration of what OwlCrate Press stands for—ambition, excellence, and access.

 Step into the shadows with Monsters in Masquerade, the first book in OwlCrate Press's anthology series, The Darkset Chronicles.

This haunting collection of 16 stories weaves together myth, horror, and romance, each tale designed to linger long after the last page.

Imagine Once Upon a Time meets Penny Dreadful–where legends from various cultures are reimagined by an extraordinary roster of bestselling, emerging, and brand-new authors, including Isabel Cañas, Angela Montoya, Sami Ellis, Gabi Burton, Robin Alvarez, Megan LaCroix, Amanda M. Helander, A.Y. Chao, Vanessa Molina, Ann K. Reeves, Fatima Taqvi, Carolyn Ivancic, Hayden Stone, Cat Rector, Sarah Mughal Rana, and Jordan Fleming.
