Parallel Universe Publications Projects for the Future
2024 will already be quite busy for PUP, with the publication of a trilogy of linked sword and sorcery stories on top of our usual anthologies in May and November.
Even so we are nevertheless interested in expanding our scope. And with this in mind there are two new anthology series we are thinking about embarking on. One will be a sister anthology to our existing sword and sorcery series, covering the genre of Sword and Planet, possibly titled Swords & Planets: Tales of Science Fantasy.
The second is self explanatory from its title: The Parallel Universe Publications Book of Horror & The Supernatural.
A final decision on these anthology series has not been made, but there is every possibility either one or both will be published either later this year or in 2025.
In the meantime, keep a watch out for announcements on Swords & Sorceries: Tales of Heroic Fantasy Volumes 8 and 9, and the forthcoming trilogy, the first volume of which should be out in the coming months.

Published only a few weeks ago two of our authors from Volume 7 and a writer whose tales have previously appeared in the anthology series have posted the following blog entries:
