Coppice and Brake Anthology A project of Crone Girls Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (January 2020). We provide the following information as an archive. About Seeking stories that explore the darker side of speculative fiction. We want stories that are scary or disturbing or upsetting, or that wouldn’t be out of place in a collection of Gothic prose or Grimm folktales or dark contemporary fantasy or a dark forest as night comes on … While horror is the name of the game, this anthology is for those stories that might not hit all of the tropes, but still leave us unsettled when the night settles in.
