First Peoples Shared Stories

Following the success of Black Sci-Fi Short Stories comes a powerful new addition to the Flame Tree short story collections: the first peoples in Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas, the first migration, the first exploration, the discovery of land and landscape without the footprint of humankind. Stories of injustice sit with memories of hope and wonder, dreamtime tales of creation and joy highlight the enduring spirit of humanity. These stories, selected from submissions by new writers and cast alongside ancient stories and oral traditions from around the world bring new perspectives to the legacy of First Nations, of First Peoples.

New, contemporary and notable writers featured are: Chukwu Sunday Abel, Laura Barker, Shelley Burne-Field, Gina Cole, Kylie Fennell, Sophie Garcia, Owl Goingback, Shane Hawk, Somto Ihezue, D.K. Lawhorn, Tsitsi Mapepa, Arnoldo Millán Zubia, Paula Morris, Weyodi OldBear, Claudia Recinos Seldeen, Drew Hayden Taylor, Brigit Truex, Pedro Vázquez Luna (with David J. Schmidt), Jay Hansford C. Vest, and Laika Wallace.

Flame Tree Gothic Fantasy, Classic Stories and Epic Tales collections bring together the entire range of myth, folklore and modern short fiction. Highlighting the roots of suspense, supernatural, science fiction and mystery stories, the books in Flame Tree Collections series are beautifully presented, perfect as a gift and offer a lifetime of reading pleasure.
