Vanthology: A Vancouver Genre Writers Anthology

Vanthology: A Vancouver Genre Writers Anthology

Where genres collide.

From misty seawalls to far-flung worlds, Vanthology gathers original short fiction from the Vancouver Genre Writers community-tales that blur the borders between fantasy, science fiction, horror, and romance. These are stories of grit and grace, of found family, and of choices made in the liminal stillness between heartbeats.

Inside, you'll find:

Speculative fiction that moves from cozy wonder to edge-of-your-seat dread-often in a single turn of the page.Atmospheric settings inspired by Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest-rain-slick streets, mountain shadows, and ocean fog.Diverse voices and styles: intimate character pieces, mini epics, fast action, and midnight haunts.Perfectly sized reads for your commute, coffee break, or late-night escape.

Whether you come seeking awe, dread, laughter, or love, this anthology will hand you a warm cup, pull up a chair, and show you something you haven't seen before-then send you home changed.

Perfect for readers who enjoy: contemporary and second-world fantasy, character-driven sci-fi, quiet horror, romantic speculative tales, short story collections, Canadian and Pacific Northwest fiction.

If you love discovering new voices and fresh blends of genre, Vanthology belongs on your shelf.
