Who is Robin Knabel?
Writing & Publishing
Robin is a horror author and owner of Inky Bones Press, an indie publishing company. She also served as a co-founder and editor of Unsettling Reads, an indie publisher and book review blog.
In her free time, she relishes the opportunity to read horror, sci-fi, and fantasy books. Robin can be spotted frequently in coffeehouses around the IU campus sipping her lifeblood, writing stories and reviews, or proofreading works of her own or others. (She not-so-secretly enjoys wielding that dreaded red pen.) When she isn’t creating disturbing characters to unnerve her readers or dissecting manuscripts, she enjoys spending time with her family, fur babies, and faithful coffee maker.
Publications
Robin’s fictional work is featured in Darkness 101: Lessons Were Learned, Hope Screams Eternal, Summer Bludgeon, Autumn Noir, Still of Winter, and the July 2020 issue of The Raven Review. Her short horror story “Memento” is forthcoming in Exposed Bone Lit Mag in 2024.

Robin loves to read & believes it’s important to promote other authors and books she enjoys by sharing reviews.
Background & Interests
Robin holds degrees in anthropology and biology from Indiana University, including completing an Undergraduate Honors Thesis for her research in physical anthropology. She also received hands-on experience processing specimens in the William R. Adams Zooarchaeology Lab. As a student of both human and animal remains, it’s no surprise she enjoys writing stories that get beneath your skin.
Reunited in 2018 with a Cuban Crocodile I’d worked on as a solo project in the William R. Adams Zooarchaeology Lab at Indiana University circa 1993.
