A home for weird and scary creatures
*All submissions are currently CLOSED

​Paw&Claw Ink is an independent publishing house founded in York in October 2024. We dedicate ourselves to being a love letter to horror and all things monstrous. From the monster under your bed or inside your closet, to the thing living in the corner of your eye or nestled deep within your chest: we welcome writers and artists to explore different monsters from across the world or that they’ve created in their own mind. 

Paw&Claw is run entirely on a voluntary basis with all funds raised through sales or by the publisher. Support us by ordering an anthology today—or contributing your work during our twice a year themed submission windows! Or buy us a coffee! 

We cater to the strange and horrific creatures that haunt our nights and days. Share the horror and bring on the monsters.
