Description
Resources are running out, the population is exploding, the planet is in danger: are we masters of our own destruction, or have we been attacked by aliens seeking mass extinction? Is this a pattern across the universe, or just in our small sector of cosmic life?
This new title from our popular Gothic Fantasy Short Stories series explores the theme of a dying planet, written by a fantastic blend of classic, ancient, and entirely new writers, with contemporary authors from around the world. For the first time, we consciously made an effort to go beyond our usual submissions, seeking broader voices. This book offers a wonderful mix of American, British, Canadian, Italian, Indian, Spanish, and Chinese writers, with contributions from Elizabeth Rubio, John B. Rosenman, Francesco Verso, Marian Womack, Zach Shephard, EE King, Raymond Little, Ken Liu, Shikhandin, Alex Shvartsman, and many others. Also, for the first time, works by Camille Flammarion, Clark Ashton Smith, Stanley G. Weinbaum, Jack London, William Hope Hodgson, HG Wells, and, reaching much further back, the Nordic Eddas and Sagas, as well as ancient Egyptian myths about humanity’s demise, are featured here.
The original titles and a very wide range of authors reflect the Flame Tree Publishing brand.
“The aim… is to wipe the dust of everyday life from our souls,” Pablo Picasso.
“Flame Tree Publishing has been wiping the dust of everyday life for over twenty years, creating illustrated books since 1992, art calendars since 1998, and illustrated e-books since 2009. Their extensive list includes powerful and eloquent artists such as Erté and Alphonse Mucha, complemented by broad licenses in their award-winning calendar line, with collaborations with Tate, V&A, RSC, RA, and many others.
Thanks to a wide range of authors, editors, and writers—from Vladimir Ashkenazy, Steve Hackett, John Howe, Sir George Martin, Brian May, Paul du Noyer, Paco Peña, Stanley Sadie—the company strives to create illustrated projects that are affordable, useful, and beautiful. In addition to printed titles, their exceptional selection of practical cookbooks, music books, pop culture, and lifestyle titles is increasingly available in digital formats. The publisher believes that well-reviewed, thoughtfully curated content should be available in many different formats to meet their readers’ needs.
