WHAT IS IT?
Miscreant Anthology is a creator-driven collection of writing and art built for work that doesn't fit neatly anywhere else.
This is a space for fiction, poetry, comics, art, illustrations, photography, and hybrid work that wants room to breathe on its own terms. Different forms, tones, and genres aren't just welcome here, they're part of the point. The best anthologies don't flatten everything into sameness. They create friction, contrast, surprise, and discovery.
Miscreant isn't interested in smoothing everything into sameness. It's built to let difference spark against difference. To let beauty sit beside abrasion. To let humor, grief, wonder, menace, tenderness, and strangeness share the same space and make something larger together.
This anthology was built to hold that kind of work. And now it's being printed.
Independent books the industry won't touch. Built by Miscreants.
The Crew Is Assembled.
150+ writers, artists, poets, and comics creators. One book. Our book.
