Flame Tree Fiction

We’re delighted to present the  contents list for our upcoming  FLAME TREE PRESS Horror anthology, Fever Dreams, the sixth title in collaboration with editor Mark Morris. The follow-up to last year's Elemental Forces, and the series which Booklist has previously described as "Highly recommended for longstanding horror fans and those readers who may not think horror is for them."  This new anthology contains 20 original horror stories, 16 of which have been commissioned from some of the top names in the genre, and 4 of which have been selected from the 100s of stories sent to Flame Tree during a 2-week open  submissions window.

Previous titles in the non-themed horror ABC series, all still in print, are After Sundown, Beyond the Veil, Close to Midnight, Darkness Beckons and Elemental Forces.

We’re delighted to present the contents list for our upcoming Beyond & Within anthology: Latin American Shared Stories. Edited by V Castro, Mexican-American speculative, horror and sci-fi writer extraordinaire and author of Mestiza Blood and The Queen of the Cicadas, this vibrant anthology presents a selection of speculative stories and fascinating essays curated by V, along with a small number from an open submissions round. The book highlights just some of the many voices, mythologies, folklore and storytelling prowess of authors from Latin American countries or writing in the traditions of the Latin American diaspora. Argentinian artist Jorge González provides the stunning frontispiece image and cover detail for this exciting new book.

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.
