Multi Genre Anthology

Theme: Emerald Places

Horror / spec fic / science fiction
Place: A location, realm, environment, or state of existence where your story unfolds. It may be real or imagined, earthly or cosmic, physical or psychological—a forgotten village, a haunted forest, an alien world, a derelict space station, an underwater city, a dreamscape, a digital landscape, or somewhere that exists only in memory. In speculative fiction and horror, a place can shape the story as much as the characters who inhabit it. We want stories where an emerald place is central to the narrative—but what that place is, why it is emerald, and what secrets it holds are entirely up to you.
