Williams, Anna (b. 1987) is an American writer of coastal Gothic and folkloric horror. Raised in Beaufort, North Carolina, she studied ethnomusicology at UNC Chapel Hill and later worked on oral history projects preserving maritime ballads and work songs. Her short fiction has appeared in regional journals and radio anthologies, drawing on the liminal spaces where tide, industry, and memory meet. She lives in Providence, Rhode Island, where she volunteers with a community archive and collects antique pitch pipes.
