The Black Room Manuscripts
The Black Room Manuscripts is the Sinister Horror Company’s flagship anthology. Originally the brainchild of Daniel Marc Chant, its purpose is to showcase the current talent in the horror world, giving pages to established and much praised authors as well as uncovering new talent.
Each volume is curated by a different individual with the others in the Sinister Horror Company working with them in the background to realise the project.
The profits from each book is donated to a charity of the curator’s choice.
