As a small independent publisher located in Delaware, Smart Rhino Publications strives to publish quality, entertaining horror and suspense fiction. We also take pride in providing venues for talented writers--veteran and new. 


The company started in 2012 with the publication of our horror anthology, Zippered Flesh.  We followed soon after with our first suspense anthology, Uncommon AssassinsSince then, we have published 13 other books, and plan to publish more.


We take great pride in our suspense and horror authors, and value the range and diversity of their talent. Here you'll find the work of Graham Masterton, Jack Ketchum, Billie Sue Mosiman, Lisa Mannetti, James Dorr, Shaun Meeks, and dozens of authors you'll likely recognize (and others you'll soon remember). Please search out their fiction and buy their books. You won't regret it!


And keep an eye on the Smart Rhino website for upcoming events and announcements. We have several other book projects coming down the pike in the coming years (our most recent was the third anthology in the "Assassins" series--Asinine Assassins)! You don't want to miss the great fiction we have in store!
