Who We Are
If you enjoy bite-sized science fiction and glitching futures (Black Mirror, Ted Chiang)
Start with The Sky Didn’t Load Today and Other Glitches by Rich Larson (available now in English).
Thirty futures. One thousand words or less. Zero safety protocols.
Across 30 precision-crafted flash-fiction stories, Rich Larson explores unreliable realities, downloadable minds, rentable bodies, alien forests, deep-space comedy, and seaside horror. These brief, dazzling glimpses of tomorrow reveal the human heart behind the technology—and the beauty, loss, and resilience hidden inside fractured futures.
If You Love YA Dystopian (The Marrow Thieves, Under This Forgetful Sky)
Start with: Everclear by Jennifer DeLeskie (Coming Summer 2026)
A teenage girl ventures into the Northern Quebec wilderness to find her missing father and uncover the dangerous truths powerful forces tried to erase. Language, memory, and survival collide in a story about reclaiming what was stolen.
If You Crave Queer Urban Fantasy (The City We Became, Circe)
Start with: L'Égide by Véronique Reed (Coming Spring 2026, French)
Greek gods walk Montreal streets. A grieving bookseller and a restless paramedic join a secret organization to hunt a demigod through murders that echo ancient rituals. Love, myth, and noir collide.
If you enjoy queer historical romance, slow-burn love stories, and found family
Start with Mrs. Victoria Buys a Brothel by Talhà Briones (available in English).
In 1865, Victoria escapes an abusive marriage and finds refuge among the women of a Wyoming brothel. When they face eviction, she buys the establishment—and begins building an unexpected new life filled with friendship, resistance, humour, and the possibility of love.
Heartfelt, fiercely funny, and deeply romantic, this sweeping sapphic Western is about healing after abuse, women who refuse to disappear, and finding family and love where no one thought they could exist.
If You Want Nature-Based Fantasy (Earthsea, Naomi Novik)
Start with: Tonnerre-des-bois by Loui Beaulieu (Coming Spring 2026, French)
A young shaman steps into his calling in a world shaped by spirit animals, ancestral memory, and the living pulse of the forest. A coming-of-age story rooted in tradition, community, and the wild.
If You Love Oceanpunk & Hopeful Sci-Fi (Silo, The Last of Us)
Start with: Amaranth by David M. Snow (Available Now, English & French)

Start with: Invisible Line series by Su J. Sokol (Available Now, English)

Where the Future Still Burns
Flames of Tomorrow is a free curated sampler of speculative short fiction shaped by hopepunk, climate futures, and acts of resistance, both quiet and bold. These stories do not save the world with spectacle. They stay with what survives after collapse, what endures through community, and what is rebuilt when people choose care over despair.
At Flame Arrow Publishing, we believe speculative fiction has a responsibility beyond entertainment. It can sharpen our moral courage. It can pull us back into the now. It can help us imagine futures rooted in resilience, solidarity, and stubborn hope.
