Folklore Horror Anthology

It’s always lovely to announce a new publication: my short story, ‘Face me. In Darkness.’, will appear in the new Gothic Fantasy anthology from Flame Tree Publishing with an emphasis on Folklore Horror Short Stories. My thanks to editor Gillian Whitaker for her oversight!

Here’s the information:

Our next Gothic Fantasy anthology is focused on all things Folklore Horror, and we’re delighted to announce the list of authors included in the book! Available from August 2026 and featuring a foreword by Maria J. Pérez Cuervo, it is packed full of fantastic short stories on the theme, encompassing global mythologies and classic horror rooted in folklore as well as new and recent stories by authors writing today.

I won’t replicate the extensive Table of Contents, which includes stories by an impressive array of living authors plus a selection of tales by past venerable writers.

It will be available as a hardcover Deluxe Edition: matte laminated, gold and silver foil stamped, embossed and with 25 illustrations! It will contain 432 pages so you will get your money’s worth!

You read all the details on the Flame Tree Publishing blog post.

It will be available from the 18th of August, 2026
