Flame Tree Publishing Gothic Fantasy Anthology Series A project of Flame Tree Publishing (see other related projects). About Our thriving list of Gothic Fantasy titles includes Supernatural Horror, Robots & Artificial Intelligence, Dystopia Utopia, and more. 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.
