Flame Tree Fiction

Pet Sematary is a story that needs little introduction. If you know the book, and know the story, you already know what’s coming and it’s more about how the filmmakers execute it. If you don’t know what’s coming then the less you know going in, the better. Filled with every kind of horror you could want, Pet Sematary makes an incredible basis for a horror film and has earned itself the title of the book that scared Stephen King the most when writing it. For years Pet Sematary was an incredible book with a really middling film adaptation, but with the wave of great King adaptations in recent times, there was hope that this film might live up to the book.

Today we are looking ahead to our upcoming releases. Over the next two months we'll have amazing new scifi novels, some excellent new horror and a few brilliant new to Flame Tree titles too! We've got some absolutely great titles coming up and we can't wait to share them with you!

By the time you finish this book, it’ll be too late. He’ll have found you. Will have been watching you for days, weeks. And everything you read, every unspeakable horror that happened to the person in this book, will happen to you. There’s no going back, you ignored the warnings. Now it’s your turn to find out the legend is true.

Continuing our blogs looking at the authors behind our March releases, we turn to Michael R Johnston and The widening Gyre. He talked to us about being a teacher, the hardship of creating characters and the importance of representation in his novels.

To celebrate our March releases we're posting Q&As with all three of the authors! To kick off the week we're asking Jonathan Janz about his new to Flame Tree Press title, Wolf Land! Check out what he said on today's blog!

We are now open for submissions for two exciting new anthologies: Detective Mysteries and Epic Fantasy. Due to be published in September 2019, these add to our Gothic Fantasy series, which includes existing titles like Supernatural Horror, Robots & Artificial Intelligence, Dystopia Utopia, American Gothic and more. Again, we are looking for around twenty to thirty short stories by contemporary writers to complement a selection of classic tales in these anthologies. We are keen to encourage new writers, without prejudice to age, background or previous publication history. It’s the story that matters, and the quality of writing.

To finish off our series of blogposts celebrating our february titles we are looking ahead to our March and April releases. We've got brand new scifi, brilliant new horror and some amazing new to FLAME TREE PRESS offerings too. Check out what's coming up below!
