From the press desk
Inkling Yokai Press crafts niche fiction where history bends, folklore breathes, and love defies the odds.
Dive into worlds where forgotten Indonesian academies bind elemental spirits, Japanese pirates clash with gaijin invaders, or communities survive on solar-driven flotillas, one ink-stained story at a time.
The best stories come across genres. Expect to find forbidden love on the streets of pre-industrial Thai cities, solving murder mysteries on space stations, or do your pilgrimage with the help of djinn-powered engines.
These are the stories nobody else creates, because they may be too niche. Well, it's our niche. Maybe it's yours, too.

What we focus on
Cross-genre & queer-normative
Our stories refuse to stay in one lane: romance and mystery, history and folklore, the everyday and the impossible, woven into one ink-stained tale. And in our worlds being queer isn't the conflict — it simply is, while love, ambition, and mystery carry the plot.
