About the Author
I’m Ana W. Black, a writer of atmospheric, gothic horror.
I write stories that move slowly and settle deeply — where dread builds in silence, memory fractures, and places remember what people try to forget.
My work explores grief, inherited guilt, unreliable timelines, and houses that behave like living things. Some stories stand alone. Others connect into wider worlds.
If you prefer your horror loud, this may not be for you.
If you like it patient — welcome.
Stories from the Dark
Ana W. Black invites you into a realm where the shadows whisper tales of mystery and allure. Based in the Netherlands, our platform is a haven for those enchanted by gothic storytelling. Here, immerse yourself in a universe crafted with dark elegance and haunting beauty,
These stories are built to linger.
They move through haunted houses, fractured timelines, and characters who sense something is wrong long before they can name it. Grief, memory, and inherited guilt run beneath them all.
Each book can be read on its own. Together, they form a wider pattern — one that reveals itself slowly, and never all at once.
A writer encounters a manuscript disturbingly aware of who is reading it — and begins to realise that some stories consume more than time.
A slow descent into signal, obsession, and the terrifying idea that the past can still reach you — if you listen closely enough.
A gothic family horror set inside a decaying manor, where bloodlines, old fires, and buried truths refuse to stay silent.
