An impressive new anthology of horror stories exploring what it means to be witch, including the rediscovery and reclaiming of that power, its links to nature, and witchcraft mythology from around the world.

Hannett. Five brand new stories have also been selected from a popular open submissions call.

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.
