The Whumpy Printing Press presents Hurt and Comfort: A Whump Anthology.
Whump: A genre of fiction that involves hurting fictional characters. It often also involves the comforting of those characters, but not necessarily.
Collected in this anthology are over two dozen whump stories from the whump writers of the internet. From vampires to mers to supervillains and more, these stories deliver a hell of a punch. And a lot of whumperflies.
Kailey Alessi is the founder and editor-in-chief of the Whumpy Printing Press, a publishing company whose mission is to publish the work of the whump community. This is the Press' first whump anthology, and hopefully there will be many more! Kailey has lived in Michigan, Kentucky, and most recently, Idaho. An anthropology graduate student by day, by night she writes dark fiction. She will be publishing the first book in her Of Vampires and Men series, Cry of Fangs, in 2023.
