<b>NOMINATED FOR A SHIRLEY JACKSON AWARD AND BRITISH FANTASY AWARD </b><br /><br /><i>"This rich and masterful collection of horror highlights both up-and-coming and established authors in an interesting twist on the standard anthology [...] Highly recommended for longstanding horror fans and those readers who may not think horror is for them. There is something for everyone in this one." — </i><b><i>Booklist</i></b><br /><br />This new anthology contains 20 original horror stories, 16 of which have been commissioned from some of the top names in the genre, and 4 of which have been selected from the 100s of stories sent to Flame Tree during a 2-week open submissions window. It is the first of what will hopefully become an annual, non-themed horror anthology of entirely original stories, showcasing the very best short fiction that the genre has to offer. <br /><br /><b>Contents List:</b><br /><br />BUTTERFLY ISLAND by C.J.
