The Gothic Fantasy series is a long-running anthology franchise published by Flame Tree Press, collecting short fiction across horror, mythology, science fiction, and speculative genres. With over ninety volumes listed in Beth Cato’s bibliography — spanning 2015 to 2026 — this represents Cato’s involvement as a contributor to the series over many years. The volumes cover an enormous range: from classic literary reprint collections (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Edgar Allan Poe Collection) to original short fiction anthologies (Chilling Horror Short Stories, Alien Invasion Short Stories, Afrofuturism Short Stories).
The series functions as a survey of genre short fiction, with individual volumes themed around specific topics, mythologies, or subgenres. Cato’s repeated inclusion across many volumes reflects her active presence in the short fiction market and the anthology publishing world. Readers interested in genre short fiction more broadly will find this series an extensive resource, while Cato fans may want to track down the specific volumes in which she appears.
