The Gothic Fantasy series is a long-running line of themed anthologies published by Flame Tree Publishing. Each volume collects stories, myths, or poems around a particular subject, mixing classic public-domain texts with new work from contemporary authors. H.G. Wells’s stories appear in several of these volumes, but he is one contributor among many.
The series is broad in scope. Some volumes focus on genre fiction (Science Fiction Short Stories, Chilling Horror Short Stories, Alien Invasion Short Stories), while others collect world mythology (Norse Myths & Tales, Greek Myths & Tales, Japanese Myths & Tales). Still others are devoted to individual classic authors (Edgar Allan Poe Collection, Bram Stoker Horror Stories, M.R. James Ghost Stories). The books are produced as hardcover editions with gilt-edged pages, designed to look good on a shelf.
Because Wells wrote so much short fiction in the horror, science fiction, and fantasy genres, his work turns up in many of these volumes. Stories like “The Star,” “The Red Room,” “The Country of the Blind,” and “The Empire of the Ants” fit naturally into anthologies organized by theme. Readers should note that individual Wells stories will overlap across multiple volumes in this series.
