About Annarstica

Annarstica is an indie publisher specializing in short stories that reflect the bittersweet, bizarre, and brutally relatable realities of work and life. Our focus is on emotionally intelligent storytelling, sharp satire, and giving voice to the quietly tired.

Our works are often strange, often sharp, and always honest — whether it’s a burnt-out prompt engineer, a misused AI dashboard, or a woman who never found a shirt that fit in IT. You’ll find both truth and absurdity here. Because sometimes, fiction tells the truth better than facts ever could.
