About Annarstica

Annarstica is an indie publisher founded on August 19, 2023. We publish short fiction and picture books that are emotionally honest, occasionally sharp, and never offering easy answers.

Our works are often strange, often sharp, and always honest — whether it's a burnt-out developer surviving the AI age, or a child learning that trying again is enough.
