Discontinue If Death Ensues (Beyond and Within)

This distinguished anthology, honored with the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in an Anthology, brings together fifteen chilling tales and five evocative poems concentrated on women. Crafted by five talented female authors—Lee Murray, Cindy O’Quinn, Kyla Lee Ward, Anna Taborska, and Carol Gyzander—the collection delves into the formidable resilience of women navigating through dire circumstances. These narratives illuminate the pivotal moments when societal constraints and personal behaviors—especially regarding the mistreatment of women and nature—trigger transformative shifts, ultimately empowering women globally. With contributors from the USA, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, this anthology was recognized with nominations for the 2021 HWA Bram Stoker Award® for Superior Achievement in Short Fiction. The Flame Tree Beyond and Within anthology series artfully curates stories steeped in myth and imagination, highlighting contemporary voices and occasionally offering a selection of shorts from a singular author. Embodying a spectrum of diverse and inclusive perspectives, the series underscores themes of the supernatural, science fiction, and the speculative. These beautifully crafted books, with their elegant foiled covers and printed edges, are exclusively available in hardcover, promising endless enjoyment for avid readers.
