We’re delighted to present the contents list for our upcoming Beyond & Within anthology: Witchcraft: Folk Tales & Horror Stories, publishing in January 2026. Edited by Marie O’Regan and Paul Kane, this new collection of witchcraft stories delves into global mythologies and forgotten folklore, exploring what it truly means to be a ‘witch’. From eerie forests to haunted landscapes, these tales rise from the earth itself, weaving together themes of isolation, power, and the ancient bond between witches and nature. Each story reclaims and reimagines witchcraft – its roots, its risks, and the choice between light and dark magic. 5 stories in this collection were selected from an open submissions process which attracted hundreds of 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.
