We’re delighted to present the contents list for our upcoming Beyond & Within anthology: Best Served Cold, publishing in July 2026 and edited by Paul Kane and Marie O’Regan. From the very beginning, the theme of revenge has been a major part of crime fiction, whether it’s perceived slights, rifts within families or sibling rivalry, jealous lovers, business competitors or just good old-fashioned retribution. This anthology gathers together the very best – and most unique – tales of dark revenge, featuring some of the top names in crime writing alongside a handful of stories selected from open submissions.
The Flame Tree Beyond and Within short story collections bring together tales of myth and imagination by modern and contemporary writers, carefully selected by anthologists, and sometimes featuring short stories from a single author. Overall, the series presents a wide range of diverse and inclusive voices with myth, folkloric-inflected short fiction, and an emphasis on the supernatural, science fiction, the mysterious and the speculative. The books themselves are gorgeous, with foiled covers, printed edges and published only in hardcover editions, offering a lifetime of reading pleasure.
