Juliana Rew of Third Flatiron Publishing announces the release of the latest in their line of quarterly online SF/Fantasy short story anthologies, Lost Worlds, Retraced.

She offers this description of the book: “Ever wonder what became of those fantastic worlds described by A. Conan Doyle and Edgar Rice Burroughs? Third Flatiron Publishing presents Lost Worlds, Retraced, a spate of new speculative fiction short stories by an international group of award-winning and emerging writers. These storytellers retrace the lost paths of an ancient sun-worshipping civilization, a doomed planet, a tribe of persecuted witches and robots, a cartoon world stalked by death, and an abrupt end to fossil fuel use. Meet a spy at the end of the universe, a Sons of Chaos motorcycle chick, a TV survival show host, and, of course, that icy rock we once knew as the planet Pluto.”

She also notes that, “If Discovery Channel shows like Ancient Aliens or Man vs. Wild are among your guilty pleasures, this could be the anthology for you. We’re beginning to podcast our stories on a monthly basis. This month it’s ‘The Sun Greeter’ by Marilyn K. Martin.”
